Only the second album ever released by the original Buena Vista Social Club; this extraordinary collection of Cuba’s greatest musicians includes Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Eliades Ochoa, Omara Portuondo, Compay Segundo, Cachaíto López and Guajiro Mirabal.
The Carnegie Hall concert was a unique event that can never be repeated. It was the focus of the Wim Wenders award winning film which has helped spread the story of the incredible characters that made up the band.
2008 marks the 10th anniversary of the Carnegie Hall concert. The single ‘Chan Chan At Carnegie Hall’ is being promoted to radio and online over summer, creating early awareness for the album release in October. An extensive website for Buena Vista Social Club is being launched and will feature a free bonus download, videos and additional footage etc.
Produced by Ry Cooder and the same talented team that produced the original album. The album includes previously unpublished photographs from the concert and a 4,000 word sleeve note by Ry Cooder and the musicians themselves. The performances on the album are absolutely brilliant and capture a collective enthusiasm, warmth, energy and feeling of triumph that was felt together by both audience and band that special night back in 1998.
THE BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB PHENOMENON
With over 8 million sales, the Grammy winning Buena Vista Social Club album is the biggest selling world music album of all time. It was responsible for the sudden appearance of Cuba-mania around the world in the summer of 1997 and has grown in popularity through word of mouth ever since.
The Wim Wenders music documentary (Buena Vista Social Club) was a huge success in cinemas, on DVD and on television and is still screened very regularly across the world.
The iconic front cover of the original album is one of the most easily recognized album covers of all time, and the album is generally considered an absolute essential in any good record collection, across all genres. ‘At Carnegie Hall’ will make an ideal companion to every good record collection.

Vampire Weekend formed and cut their musical teeth at NYC's Columbia's University, taking their name from a film that frontman Ezra Koenig wrote and trailered. The album is a beguiling mix of this preppy young band's direct, danceable tunes and afrobeat-tinged, experimental pop - music from New York's hottest new band that challenges any preconceptions of what a New York band is meant to sound like.
