FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Buena Vista Social Club

Review: ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ Musical Sounds Great, but Lacks a Story

6 / 10

However, this shaky narrative framing does not affect the joy and brilliance of Buena Vista Social Club’s supreme execution of music and dance. Thanks to its excellent ensemble of musicians and singers, we can all be grateful that, as Juan says to the audience at the end, “a sound like this... tends to travel.”

UENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB's Rhythm of Life - Review

7 / 10

But the terrific ensemble carries the weight of the story's history and the beauty of its culture with passion and understanding, especially its older members, who look right at home in Arnulfo Maldonado’s faded colonial set. Every number, be it joyous or melancholy, bursts with life, and Belcon, Monge, and Semé bring the house down with faithful yet personal interpretations.
