A recording of the Buena Vista Social Club's Carnegie Hall concert 10 years ago will be released by World Circuit/Nonesuch this fall.
The concert was a key part of Wim Wenders' 1999 documentary on the Cuban musicians brought together by Ry Cooder in Havana.
Included on the two-CD set are performances by Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, Ruben González, Eliades Ochoa, Omara Portuondo, Cachaíto López and Guajiro Mirabal, musicians who were able to parlay the BVSC exposure into solo careers.
The Carnegie Hall recording of “Chan Chan” is being previewed at iTunes.
