The Buena Vista Social club exposed a lost generation of musicians to the world. It also brought back to life a lost musical genre. Cuban Jazz which is rich in polyrhythms with huge influences from New Orleans Jazz, Calypso and Merengue. The Buena Vista Social Club Album took many of the musicians in the twilight of their life who use to play at the club during the 50's and 60's when Havana was a party town. It mixes a range of musicians contributing well known Cuban Jazz numbers.
