Résumé: A group of legendary Cuban musicians, some as old as their nineties, were brought together by Ry Cooder to record a CD. In this film, we see and hear some of the songs being recorded in Havana. There is also footage from concerts in Amsterdam and New York City's Carnegie Hall. In addition, many of the individual musicians talk about their lives in Cuba and about how they got started in music.
Commentaire: The Buena Vista Social Club was a little place in Havana where dance bands played before the Cuban Revolution. Wenders simply, very simply, films the visit of aged musicians to the club (which is now an apartment building), as well as some performances. The music is great, the film is great, but some critics carped and the question is why?

It's simply the name. Buena Vista happens to be the name of Walt Disney's distribution company, and some misinformed critics must have thought this was Michael Eisner's version of The Mickey Mouse Club.
