Film description

Adocumentary featuring the «lost» Cuban musicians who were brought together by Ry Cooder to record the album Buena Vista Social Club. At a studio, the band records their next album, a showcase for singer Ibrahim Ferrer. Each of the main players recount their lives and personal philosophies. This is intercut with concert footage shot in Amsterdam and the studio sessions from Ferrer’s solo album. The band travels to New York where the impressions of those who have never been outside Cuba are mixed with songs from their climactic performance at Carnegie Hall.
