    The original Buena Vista Social Club album was recorded for World Circuit Records over six days at the vintage EGREM studios in Havana. Released in 1997, the album went on to become a worldwide phenomenon, selling over 8 million copies and contributing to the rise in popularity of Cuban, as well as Latin American, music.
    Since forming in London in the mid-1980s, World Circuit Records has made its reputation by producing some of the finest albums of the past three decades. The label’s prestigious roster includes Buena Vista Social Club and associated solo artists (including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Omara Portuondo and Orlando ‘Cachaíto’ López), Malian blues pioneer Ali Farka Touré, Malian divas and social activists Oumou Sangaré and Fatoumata Diawara, master kora player Toumani Diabaté, the illustrious Orchestra Baobab, musical iconoclast Cheikh Lô, and Fela Kuti’s legendary drummer and co-creator of Afrobeat Tony Allen.
    With reissues and brand new releases coming soon, World Circuit continues to bring diverse, genre-defying music to a wider audience.

    LYRICS
    (Spanish)
    De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané
    Luego a Cueto voy para Mayarí.
    El cariño que te tengo
    Yo no lo puedo negar
    Se me sale la babita
    Yo no lo puedo evitar.
    Cuando Juanica y Chan Chan
    En el mar cernían arena
    Como sacudía el ‘jibe’
    A Chan Chan le daba pena.
    Limpia el camino de paja
    Que yo me quiero sentar
    En aquel tronco que veo
    Y así no puedo llegar.
    De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané
    Luego a Cueto voy para Mayarí.
    (English)
    I’m going from Alto Cedro
    to Marcané
    Then from Cueto, I’m going
    to Mayarí.
    The love I have for you I cannot deny
    My mouth is watering
    I just can’t help myself.
    When Juanika and Chan Chan
    Sifted sand together on the beach
    How her bottom shook and
    Chan Chan was aroused!
    Clean the dry sugar cane
    leaves from the path
    So I can get to that trunk
    I want to sit down.
    I’m going from Alto Cedro
    to Marcané
    Then from Cueto, I’m going
    to Mayarí.

    I lost my documents in Mexico when I was 21 and couldn’t get back to United States for few days. I remember sitting in a hotel balcony in Puerto Vallarta staring at the sunset and this song was playing on the radio. Although I was stressed about my situation I thought to myself “life is beautiful indeed”....

    Dear 'Chan Chan', I have known you for many years now. I have danced with you, on my own, & with strangers, & with loved ones too, some now gone. I have played you, sang you & even performed you a handful of times. You are one of my song-friends. A piece of music that has grown with me over the years, & collected memories. I don't often listen to you, but when I do, it is always with an intention. A homecoming within myself. A moment of nostalgia. A need for a good cry. A soft solitary dance. And you are always there, welcoming me back, every time. Thank you.

    When I was 17, i left my little countryside for a few days in the beautiful city of Bordeaux, France, where I live now. I went out to a cuban bar with my friend, and after, at 3am, we met this group of musicians from Argentine. There was Andrés, the guy who was playing guitar, Luna, the dancer with the red dress... And when we arrived, they were playing and singing this song in the night, chilling next to the Place de la Bourse. Among all the songs they could have played. They chose this one. I started dancing a bit with Luna, and then we enjoyed the music and drank red wine.
    It was one of the most beautiful nights in my life.

    My Abuelita was from Cuba. She was the great grandmother to my sons. I learned most of my horrible Spanish from her. She had a terrible time in Cuba. She had to give up her daughter when she was only 6 years old during “ Operation Pedro Pan”. Her husband was tortured and killed, she was imprisoned. She had a perpetual sadness in her eyes but she was very proud and strong. I love that woman and I’m glad her blood flows in my son’s veins.

      Having been to Cuba I can imagine this in somewhere like the Hotel Seville or a music hall and as said people old and young dancing, the country now has a faded grandeur about it, a beautiful country, the people the music the food, the cigars and rum (my personal favourites) I would go back in a heart beat, this time I'd want a motorbike to ride though so I can go out and explore on my own and not just go on organised trips the more touristy bits.

    A lovely red headed woman invited me to their show, at the last minute, in Milwaukee. We were taken by the beautiful sounds and the people on the stage, it was like the music was sent from Heaven. We drank, danced and cried at the beauty of the amazing sounds. I believe it was the last show they ever did. It's one night I will NEVER forget.

    I first heard this song when I was sitting in a small hidden park on the island of the river La Seine in Paris. This small park is located between the two river branches and at the end of the island is a very old willow tree which leaves its branches trailing in the water. Under the willow tree, protected by the leaves, a man was sitting still looking to the horizon listening to this song playing outloud on his phone. I passed by and ended up sitting right behind him for the entire song, and I remember thinking that life had never seem that peaceful before.
