Way Back Play Back: "The Buena Vista Social Club"

This week's Way Back Play Back movie is slightly different from others cause we are playing a film based on the music of Salsa vs our usual Hip Hop or Electronic Music based films. Today's flick is about a group of older Cuban musicians whose talents had been virtually forgotten following Castro's takeover of Cuba. They are brought out of retirement by Ry Cooder, who travelled to Havana in order to bring the musicians together, resulting in triumphant performances of extraordinary music, and resurrecting the musicians' careers. Check it out and enjoy!
