Buena Vista Social Club

A while back Ry Cooder traveled to Cuba to record a group of famous old Cuban jazz musicians who were on the cusp of fading away into oblivion. The result was a wonderful album of music. This is the documentary film inspired by that album as the musicians are seen and not only heard.
