Endlich: der legendäre letzte Auftritt des kubanischen Dream-Teams auf zwei CDs.
Das von Ry Cooder produzierte und mit einem Grammy ausgezeichnete Album »Buena Vista Social Club« aus dem Jahr 1997 ist mit acht Millionen verkauften Exemplaren das meistverkaufte Weltmusik-Album aller Zeiten. Mit Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Eliades Ochoa, Omara Portuondo und Compay Segundo präsentierte es ein Dream-Team aus Kubas goldener Musikära und stellt die Rhythmen des Sons, Boleros und Danzóns einem neuen Publikum vor.
Am 1. Juli 1998 spielte der Buena Vista Social Club in der legendären Carnegie Hall in New York. Diese Show bildete nicht nur den Höhepunkt der Dokumentation von Wim Wenders aus dem Jahr 1999, sondern war gleichzeitig der allerletzte Auftritt der Gruppe. Mit der Doppel-CD »At Carnegie Hall« erscheint endlich der lang ersehnte Livemitschnitt dieses Konzertes.
»Als die Musiker schließlich auf die Bühne gingen, stand das Publikum auf und applaudierte. Bei den ersten Tönen von ›Chan Chan‹ brachen sie in solchen Jubel aus, wie man es von einem Rockpublikum kennt, wenn die Band ihren größten Hit spielt«, staunte The Los Angeles Times.
Product-Information:
Buena Vista Social Club, the Grammy Award–winning 1997 World Circuit / Nonesuch Records album produced by Ry Cooder, is the biggest-selling world music album ever, with more than eight million records sold to date. The Cuban musicians from the album played a sold-out, one-night-only concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall on July 1, 1998. That show became the climax of the acclaimed 1999 Wim Wenders documentary about the musicians, also called Buena Vista Social Club.
Ten years later, World Circuit / Nonesuch Records release that evening’s performance as Buena Vista Social Club at Carnegie Hall—meticulously mixed and mastered by Cooder and World Circuit label head Nick Gold (who executive produced the 1997 album). It features performances by the original Buena Vista Social Club musicians including Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, Rubén González, Eliades Ochoa, Omara Portuondo, Cachaíto López, and Guajiro Mirabal. Though all of these musicians subsequently went on to resurrect great solo careers, the intervening years have brought the loss of Ferrer, Segundo, and González. Buena Vista Social Club at Carnegie Hall is only the second release for the original members.
A popular song from the original Buena Vista Social Club album, “Chan Chan,” opened the Carnegie Hall show and is also available in the Nonesuch Store as a single. As the Los Angeles Times reported in its 1998 Carnegie Hall review, “When the musicians finally walked on stage, the crowd stood and cheered, then erupted at the opening strains of ‘Chan Chan,’ much as a rock audience does on hearing a band’s biggest hit.”
Rezensionen
"The concert was more than a musical occasion. Musicians from Cuba in their 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, some emerging from retirement, were making their United States debuts at no less than Carnegie Hall. 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." — New York Times
