More than a musical occasion that historic sell-out show is the uplifting finale to this documentary, which remains one of the greatest musical films ever made.
In the climax their music comes alive once again, as they rehearse for their first and only performance in America, at New York\'s Carnegie Hall.
Never a regular band, The Buena Vista Social Club had gone their separate ways after that sensational album but in this extraordinary film Wenders intimately documents Ry Cooder\'s return to Havana, encountering these musical legends again as they look back to the halcyon days of Cuba\'s music scene, when the rich and famous travelled from all over the world to listen to them.
It showcases the talents of a dream team of veterans from Cuban music\'s golden age and it introduced the rhythms of Son, Bolero and Danzon to a whole new audience, making instant international stars of Ibrahim Ferrer, Ruben Gonzalez, Eliades Ochoa, Omara Portuondo and Compay Segundo.
The Grammy Award-winning Buena Vista Social Club album produced by Ry Cooder, remains the biggest-selling world music album ever.
