Buena Vista Social Club - By: Book Worm, 06 Jul 2008 
'Buena Vista Social Club' is the Ry Cooder produced album of such melodic, harmonious, relaxed Cuban beauty. Each track transports you to another time & place & you honestly feel your cares drifting away as you listen to each song. From the wonderful album opener 'Chan Chan' to the infectious 'El Cuarto de Tula' & the delightfully mournful 'Dos Gardenias' & more, this album throws up delight after delight. Ry Cooder may have brought this amazing music to a wider audience, but it is the talent & passion of the musicians that shines through. A beautiful album that deserves a place in any music collection. Well worth a try.
This is simply amazing... - By: Mr. M. Gossage, 16 Dec 2007 Just take a listen, it doesn't matter what you're in to, just listen.
It's relaxing & melodic while being completely passionate & beautiful. How anyone could ban this stuff is beyond me. Damn politics!

Buena vista social club...landmark music - By: J. Cianti, 16 Jan 2007 Few musical compilations affect listeners the way this album does. So moving, you will be forced to sit quietly & just absorb it. Your mind will overflow with thoughts of the tropics, Old Cuba & 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 & happiness, & are compelled to sway to this sometimes "raw" recording. The vibrating guitar strings, the deep fluid vocals, the smooth yet searing trumpet alll say "this is the real thing". I love it...It is a modern classic. Listen & you will see it & feel it too.
Just for you! - By: A.K., 05 May 2006 Fantastic. The one not to forget!If you love music you'll adore this one. Beautiful from start to finish.Cannot recommend this CD higher.Return to play it alll over again & again.My students love it too. Use it for a music therapy, great stuff.
