A group of legendary Cuban musicians, some as old as their nineties, were brought together by Ry Cooder to record a CD. In this film, we see and hear some of the songs being recorded in Havana. There is also footage from concerts in Amsterdam and New York City's Carnegie Hall. Buena Vista Social Club is a zestful documentary about this group of gifted and colorful Cuban musicians performing great music and reminiscing about their careers.
