Buena Vista Social Club
Within this fascinating Oscar-nominated documentary, American guitarist Ry Cooder brings with a group of legendary Cuban folk musicians (some in their 90s) to capture some Grammy-winning CD in their native city of Havana. The result is a spectacular compilation of concert footage from the gigs at Amsterdam and New York City's famed Carnegie Hall, with director Wim Wenders shooting not only the music of the group -- but also the artists' life stories.
