Buena vista social club...landmark music January 16, 2007
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
Few musical compilations affect listeners the way this album does. So moving, you will be forced to sit quietly and just absorb it. Your mind will overflow with thoughts of the tropics, Old Cuba and the like, even if you have never been there. It is that powerful. You can picture fine cigars, smoked even by the poorest of cuban society. You feel love and happiness, and are compelled to sway to this sometimes "raw" recording. The vibrating guitar strings, the deep fluid vocals, the smooth yet searing trumpet all say "this is the real thing". I love it...It is a modern classic. Listen and you will see it and feel it too.

In terms of sound, this is probably the closest you get to a true Cuban cafe somewhere in Cienfuegos. As many of you may know the songs on this DVD-A already, I will limit my comment to the sound quality. It's simply superb! If you own the film on DVD (in DD 5.1) already and have a DVD-A player at home, don't hesitate! It's better sound quality and the songs are not interrupted. Remix well done Mr. Cooder!

Cannot recommend this CD too highly. Bought it after watching the TV programme. Return to play it time and time again and never tire of listening to all the fantastic artists who I think are the hight of COOL. Every track is brilliant and leaves you wanting to hear more of each and every one of them.

If you love music you'll adore this masterpiece. Hauntingly beautiful from start to finish it's melodic, intoxicating, sensual latin rythms will transport you to a place and time that only true passion can. Shut your eyes and open your mind to something truly extraordinary that you rarely come across, perhaps once or twice in a lifetime of music. I love music in all it's shapes and forms but this recording of real musicians creating something magical will outlive anything you've heard before. This music is beyond mere ratings, it is immensely powerful, passionate and of a beauty indescribeable. Once played never forgotten.
