Although its roots stretch back to World War II–era Havana, the Buena Vista Social Club phenomenon went global in 1997 with the release of the Ry Cooder–produced eponomyous album. The upshot of the worldwide interest in the music and musicians was a 1998 concert in Amsterdam followed by their Carnegie Hall concert, which All About Jazz dubbed "the pinnacle of the Buena Vista project." Wim Wenders filmed the concert for inclusion in his Buena Vista Social Club documentary (which came out the following year).
The concert was a sellout, with Jon Pareles of The New York Times recounting evocatively, "With the bittersweet delicacy of a classic bolero, the Buena Vista Social Club simultaneously celebrated the vitality and virtuosity of its musicians and mourned the era they embody."
The full lineup on that historic night of music was Octavio Calderon, trumpet; Joachim Cooder, drums; Ry Cooder, guitar; Terry Domech, congas; Ibrahim Ferrer, vocals; Roberto Garcia, bongos; Hugo Garzon, maracas; Juan Marcos de González, güiro; Rubén González, guitar; Pio Leyva, vocals; Manuel "Puntillita" Licea, vocals; Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez, contrabass; Benito Suarez Magana, guitar; Manuel "Guajiro" Mirabal, trumpet; Eliades Ochoa, guitar and vocals; Omara Portuondo, vocals; Jesus Ramos, trombone; Salvador Repilado, contrabass; Compay Segundo, guitar and vocals; Barbarito Torres, lute; Alberto "Virgilio" Valdés, maracas; and Amadito Valdés, timbales.
While three of the real stars of the concert—Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, and Compay Segundo—all died between the live event and the release of the recordings, other members of that night's lineup—including Eliades Ochoa and Omara Portuondo (who performed here as recently as late 2010)—continue to tour internationally.
