| | Buena Vista Social Club |
 | | Buena Vista Social Club was recorded with Compay Segundo (vocals, guitar, congas), Eliades Ochoa (vocals, guitar), Ibrahim Ferrer (vocals, bongos, clave), Ry Cooder (acoustic and electric slide guitars, guitar, oud, bolon, mbira, percussion), Ruben Gonzalez (piano). |
 | | Buena Vista Social Club offers a panorama of son, trova and danzón [see Cuba Danzón '98 festival], including the number which lends its title to the CD, written by the legendary Orestes López, and "Pueblo Nuevo" (New People) by maestro Guillermo Rubalcaba. |
 | | Wenders splits the film between portraits of the performers, who tell their stories directly to the camera as they wander the streets and neighborhoods of Havana, and a celebration of the music heard in performance scenes in the studio, in their first concert in Amsterdam, and in their second and final concert at Carnegie Hall. |
