 Buena Vista Social Club (1999)
The Buena Vista Social Club album was put together by guitarist Ry Cooder in 1997 as a means of recapturing the "lost" music of pre-revolutionary Havana.
This makes BVSC one of the few documentaries I have ever seen which must be seen on the big screen to be fully appreciated.
Although I've never been to Havana, it also appeared to me that Wenders may have judged well in his balance by showing Havana as a poor broken down city and not just a place full of '50s cars, grand old buildings and omnipresent "faded glory".

In 'Buena Vista Social Club' I rather tried to stay an objective observer, as much as that was possible.
We knew that we would have a chance to film all the songs from the Buena Vista Social Club album in Amsterdam, and I had a vague idea about how we would intertwine the two different elements.
We all had no idea then, that due to the phenomenal success of the album and the legendary status the Amsterdam concerts were soon to acquire, the band would do one more and final appearance at Carnegie Hall in New York.

 Movie Review | Buena Vista Social Club (1999) Wim Wenders
The name itself belongs to a music club where many of the musicians once played during the heights of their careers.
The main thrust of Buena Vista Social Club, from what I can gather from the film, is that American musician Ry Cooder traveled to Cuba to meet a friend and discuss plans to record music by some local talents.
The movie itself is composed of terrific music played by the musicians, live and recorded, and cuts between a concert by the Club in Amsterdam and the musicians back in Cuba among the people, in their homes, and around the city.

 Buena Vista Social Club - Music Downloads - Online
Bio: Less a band than an assemblage of some of Cuba's most renowned musical forces, Buena Vista Social Club's origins lie with noted American guitarist Ry Cooder, who in 1996 traveled to Havana to seek out a number of legendary local musicians whose performing careers largely ended decades earlier with the rise of Fidel Castro.
Recruiting the long-forgotten likes of singer Ibrahim Ferrer, guitarists/singers Compay Segundo and Eliades Ochoa, and pianist Rubén González, Cooder entered Havana's Egrem Studios to record the album Buena Vista Social Club; the project was an unexpected commercial and critical smash, earning a Grammy and becoming the best-selling release of Cooder's long career.
In 1998 he returned to Havana with percussionist son Joaquim to record a solo LP with Ferrar; the sessions were captured on film by director Wim Wenders, who also documented sell-out Buena Vista Social Club live performances in Amsterdam and New York City.
