Produced by Ry Cooder and Executive Produced by Nick Gold, the classic multi-million-selling Grammy\u2122-winning album will be reissued on &#8217;pearl sunrise&#8217; colour double-LP, reflecting pearl&#8217;s long-standing association with 30-year anniversaries. &#8217;Buena Vista Social Club\u2019 30th Anniversary Edition is the third in a series of re-releases celebrating the prestigious label&#8217;s 40th Anniversary and is available now for pre-order.<\/p>\n<p>The history, authenticity and mystique of &#8217;Buena Vista Social Club&#8217; burns as brightly today as ever for fans both new and old. On 26 March 1996, the trio of Cuban bandleader Juan de Marcos Gonz\u00e1lez, American producer and guitarist Ry Cooder, and British producer and label owner Nick Gold assembled an impromptu group of Cuban musicians at Centro Havana\u2019s historic 1950\u2019s EGREM\/Areito studios. The majority of those gathered were celebrated veterans of the golden age of the Cuban music scene of the 1940s and \u201950s. None of them had any idea that the recordings they were about to produce would change the lives of many people, themselves included, and would forever change the standing of Cuban music in the world. \u2018Buena Vista Social Club\u2019 was the name given to both this extraordinary group of musicians and the album, recorded in just seven days. The studio, owned by Cuba\u2019s national label EGREM, was originally installed in the 1940s and is celebrated as a great jewel in recording history. The large wood-panelled studio enabled recording to take place with the full ensemble playing \u2018live\u2019, which puts the listener right in the room amongst the musicians. There is no doubt that this played a major part in the magical sound of the final recordings.<\/p>\n<p>It was clear from the atmosphere of the recording sessions that something very special was taking place, but no one could have predicted that \u2018Buena Vista Social Club\u2019 would become a worldwide phenomenon \u2013 awarded a Grammy in 1997 and, at over 8 million copies, outselling any other record in the same genre. The impact of those sessions is still felt 30 years later, and the vibrance and seductive allure of Cuba\u2019s rich history and culture shines as brightly as ever in these definitive recordings. The acclaim of the original album elevated the artists (including Ibrahim Ferrer, Eliades Ochoa, Compay Segundo, Rub\u00e9n Gonz\u00e1lez &#038; Omara Portuondo) to superstar status, inspired an award-winning film by Wim Wenders, and contributed to popularising Cuba\u2019s rich musical heritage.<\/p>\n<p>March 2025 saw the official opening of the Buena Vista Social Club \u2122 Broadway stage show. Inspired by true events, the Broadway musical brings the original album to thrilling life \u2013 weaving fiction with history to reimagine the story of the legends behind the music. Winner of 5 Tony Awards, Buena Vista Social Club\u2122 is making history on Broadway as the first musical featuring its entire song score sung completely in Spanish, with the shows story and scenes performed in English. In February 2026 the show\u2019s Original Broadway Cast Recording, released by World Circuit Records, produced by GRAMMY \u00ae Award winners Dean Sharenow and David Yazbek, co-produced by Marco Paguia and Orin Wolf, and Executive Produced by Allan Williams won the GRAMMY \u00ae for Best Musical Theatre Album. The production continues to run at the Schoenfeld Theatre (236 West 45th Street) in New York and will tour the US in late 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The following albums will be reissued on colour vinyl formats throughout 2026 to mark World Circuit Records&#8217; 40th Anniversary:<br \/>\nAli Farka Tour\u00e9 &#8211; Savane (20th Anniversary Edition) &#8211; out now<br \/>\nAfro-Cuban All Stars &#8211; A Toda Cuba Le Gusta (30th Anniversary Edition) &#8211; out 26th June<br \/>\nBuena Vista Social Club &#8211; Buena Vista Social Club (30th Anniversary Edition) &#8211; out 4th September<br \/>\nOumou Sangar\u00e9 &#8211; Moussolou \u2013 coming soon<br \/>\nTony Allen and Hugh Masekela \u2013 Rejoice \u2013 coming soon<br \/>\nIbrahim Ferrer &#8211; Buena Vista Social Club Present Ibrahim Ferrer \u2013 coming soon<\/p>\n<p>\u00b4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musiken fr\u00e5n Buena Vista Social Club firar 30 \u00e5rs jubileum 4 september 2026 med att sl\u00e4ppa musiken p\u00e5 en vinul.
