Buena Vista Social Club
Original De Cuba 5 Leyendas (2005)  allmusic.com... Less a band than an assemblage of some of Cuba's most renowned musical forces, Buena Vista Social Club's origins lie with noted American guitarist Ry Cooder, who in 1996 traveled to Havana to seek out a number of legendary local musicians whose performing careers had largely ended decades earlier with the rise of Fidel Castro. Recruiting the long-forgotten likes of singer Ibrahim Ferrer, guitarists/singers Compay Segundo and Eliades Ochoa, and pianist Rubén González, Cooder entered Havana's Egrem Studios to record the album Buena Vista Social Club; the project was an unexpected commercial and critical smash, earning a Grammy and becoming the best-selling release of Cooder's long career. In 1998 he returned to Havana with his son, percussionist Joachim, to record a solo LP with Ferrer; the sessions were captured on film by director Wim Wenders, who also documented sell-out Buena Vista Social Club live performances in Amsterdam and New York City. (Wenders' film, also titled Buena Vista Social Club, earned an Academy Award nomination in 2000.) The public's continued interest in Cuban music subsequently generated solo efforts from Segundo and González, as well as a series of international live performances promoted under the Buena Vista Social Club aegis. A concert CD, At Carnegie Hall, drawn from the same triumphant show that Wenders featured in his documentary, was released in 2008 -- a few years after the deaths of Segundo, Ferrer, and González. In the spring of 2015, Nonesuch/World Circuit released Lost and Found, a collection of unreleased tracks from the 1996 Egrem and 2000 recording sessions, as well as live tracks. A group containing some of the original members called Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club continued to tour, and their farewell tour took place that year.

Ochoa's work on Ry Cooder's Buena Vista Social Club raised his mainstream prominence; on his second solo album, 1999's Sublime Illusion, Ochoa collaborated with Cooder and Cuarteto Patria once again. Other releases include Son de Santiago and Cuarteto Patria. Fall 2000 saw the release of Eliades Ochoa y el Cuarteto Patria and Cuidadito Compay Gallo was issued a year later. The earthy and gruff Estoy Como Nunca followed a year later. 01.El Cuarto De Tula 02.Estoy Hecho Tierra 03.En Casa De Pedro El Cojo 04.Alli Donde Tu Sabes 05.La Culebra 06.Rita La Caimana 07.Que Lio Compay Andrés 08.Alma De Mujer 09.Mujer Perjura 10.Que Te Parece Cholito 11.La Comadre Catalina 12.La Venganza Del Perico 13.Entre Flores 14.Beso Discreto CD2 - Compay Segundo  Legendary Cuban guitarist Compay Segundo was born in 1907; collaborating with the likes of Sindo Garay, Miguel Matamoros and Benny Moré, he emerged as one of the most respected musicians of the pre-revolution era, and in the late '20s invented the armónico, a guitar customized with a double third string to fuse the tonal qualities of the traditional Cuban tres guitar and its Spanish counterpart. Following Fidel Castro's rise to power, Segundo worked as a cigar roller before returning to music during the late '80s; in his early nineties he attracted worldwide attention in 1998 for his contributions to Ry Cooder's wildly successful Buena Vista Social Club album, issuing the solo Calle Salud the following year. Buena Vista Connection was issued in fall 2000. Flores de la Vida followed later that same year; Trova Cubana surfaced in early 2001. The torrent of releases, both new and reissues of classic pre-fame Segundo sessions, continued throughout 2001 with Yo Vengo Aqui, Que Lio Compay Andres and into 2002 with Yo Soy del Monte and Dos Leyendas de Cuba. On July 13 of the following year Compay Segundo died of kidney failure at his home in Havana. 01.Saludos Compay 02.Chan Chan 03.Voy Pa' Mayari 04.Anita 05.La Mujer Del Peso 06.Sanluisera 07.Yo Soy Del Monte Compay 08.Será Cuando Tú Digas 09.Francisco Guayabal 10.Sigue El Paso No. 1 11.A Los Barrios De Santiago 12.De Jatibonico A Bolondron 13.Sigue El Paso No. 2 14.Sigue El Paso En La Nochebuena 15.María En La Playa CD3 - Ibrahim Ferrer  With the release of the Grammy-winning album Buena Vista Social Club and an acclaimed documentary of the same name, Cuban singer Ibrahim Ferrer vaulted from obscurity and poverty to international fame in the twilight of his life. He was born February 20, 1927, when his mother went into labor during a dance in the Cuban village of San Luis. By 12, Ferrer was an orphan, surviving by selling newspapers and produce on the street. He began his professional singing career at 14, joining his cousin's vocal group Los Jovenes del Son -- Ferrer later sang with acts including Conjunto Sorpresa, Maravilla de Beltrán, Beny Moré, and Electo Rosell's jazz group La Orquesta Chepín Chovén, with whom he scored the 1955 regional hit "El Platanal de Bartolo." He also sang with Pacho Alonso, whose Santiago-based group Los Bocucos relocated to Havana in 1959 in the wake of the Cuban Revolution -- Ferrer served with Alonso on and off for over three decades, during that time proving himself not only a master of the energetic, uptempo guarachas and sones but also a sublime bolero singer with an uncommon sense of space and silence. 01.El Botellero 02.Como La Piel Canela 03.Fomento 04.Monte Adentro 05.En Que Parte De Cuba Nacio El Son 06.Asi Es La Vida Compay 07.Todavia Me Queda Voz 08.El Son De La Santiaguera 09.Cucuruchito De Coco 10.Esto Se Baila Y Se Toca 11.Ahora No Puedo 12.Mi Tonada Montuna 13.Estoy Seco Y Me Quiero Mojar 14.Mañana Me Voy Pa' Sibanicú 15.El Platanal De Bartolo CD4 - Omara Portuondo  Omara Portuonda is the grand old lady of Cuban music. While her early recordings made her a star in Cuba, her participation in the 1996 album and video documentary, The Buena Vista Social Club, brought her to international attention. Her solo album, The Buena Vista Social Club Presents Omara Portuondo, released in 2000, reinforced her status as one of Cuba's greatest musical ambassadors. A native of Havana, Portuondo was one of three daughters born to a baseball player on the Cuban national team and a woman of Spanish heritage who left the comfort and support of her wealthy family home to marry the man she loved. Her parents' singing provided the soundtrack for her early life. As a youngster, she sang in school choirs and music classes. 01.Échale Salsita 02.Lo Que Me Queda Por Vivir 03.Mi Son Caliente 04.Vuela Pena 05.Guitarra En Son Mayor 06.Nada Para Ti 07.Vieja Luna 08.Te Queria 09.Vale La Pena Vivir 10.Toda Una Vida 11.Eso No Lo He Dicho Yo 12.Me Acostumbre A Estar Sin Ti 13.Y Mucho Más 14.Nosotros 15.Agua Que Cae Del Cielo[ CD5 - Rubén González  Rubén González was one of the last of Cuba's great Afro-Cuban piano players. Although he had played and recorded with the band led by Enrique Jorrín, the creator of the cha-cha, for a quarter of a century, he had retired from music by the mid-'80s. Things began to change when González recorded with the Afro-Cuban All Stars in 1996. The album, A Toda Cuba Le Gusta, released the following year, helped to inspire an international fascination for Afro-Cuban music and brought González to the attention of a global audience. His performance on the Ry Cooder-produced album Buena Vista Social Club made him an international phenomenon. Signing a contract with Cooder's label, World Circuit, González released his debut solo album, Introducing...Ruben Gonzalez, at the age of 78. 01.Yo Te Enseño Lola 02.Soplete 03.Préstame La Bicicleta 04.Date Una Vueltecita 05.Ambrosio 06.La Gloria Eres Tu 07.Noneto 08.Nuestra Canción 09.Moby Dick 10.Todo Aquel Ayer 11.¿De Que Te Quejas? 12.Mil Congojas 13.Sancho 14.Cuidad Oscura 15.Que Infelicidad THANKS for Seeding!
