Where this album fits
- Career context
- The Buena Vista Social Club album was released in 1997, marking a significant moment in the revival of traditional Cuban music. This project emerged after Ry Cooder brought together a group of veteran musicians, many of whom had been largely forgotten, showcasing their talents to a global audience. Its release followed the international interest in Cuban music sparked by the relaxation of U.S.-Cuba relations in the 1990s.
