Buena Vista Social Club

In 1996, a group of veteran musicians made an album that changed the image of Cuban music forever. Some of the artists had come out of retirement for the occasion. Laoud-player, Barbarito Torres, remembers that ground-breaking recording session in Havana and his excitement at playing on the very first Buena Vista Social Club album, which went on to sell millions of copies around the world.
