La Bayamesa
Buena Vista Social Club Lyrics
Lleva en su alma la baya-mesa
Tristes recuerdos de tradiciones
Cuando contempla sus verdes llanos
Lágrimas vierte por sus pasiones
Sí, lleva en su alma la baya-mesa
Tristes recuerdos de tradiciones
Cuando contempla sus verdes llanos
Lágrimas vierte por sus pasiones
Le brinda al hombre (le brinda al hombre)
Virtudes todas (virtudes todas)
Y el corazón (y el corazón)
Pero sí siente (pero sí siente)
De la Patria el grito (de la Patria el grito)
Pero sí siente
De la Patria el grito
Todo lo deja, todo lo quema
Ese es su lema, su religión
Ese es su lema (ese es su lema su religión)
Su religión

Buena Vista Social Club is an ensemble of Cuban musicians established in 1996 to revive the music of pre-revolutionary Cuba.

The project was organized by World Circuit executive Nick Gold, produced by American guitarist Ry Cooder and directed by Juan de Marcos González. They named the group after the homonymous members' club in the Buenavista quarter of Havana, a popular music venue in the 1940s. To showcase the popular styles of the time, such as son, bolero and danzón, they recruited a dozen veteran musicians, many of whom had been retired for years.
The group's eponymous album was recorded in March 1996 and released in September 1997, quickly becoming an international success, which prompted the ensemble to perform with a full line-up in Amsterdam and New York in 1998. German director Wim Wenders captured the performance on film for a documentary—also called Buena Vista Social Club—that included interviews with the musicians conducted in Havana. Wenders' film was released in June 1999 to critical acclaim, receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary feature and winning numerous accolades including Best Documentary at the European Film Awards.
The success of both the album and film sparked a revival of interest in traditional Cuban music and Latin American music in general. Some of the Cuban performers later released well-received solo albums and recorded collaborations with stars from different musical genres. The "Buena Vista Social Club" name became an umbrella term to describe these performances and releases, and has been likened to a brand label that encapsulates Cuba's "musical golden age" between the 1930s and 1950s. The new success was fleeting for the most recognizable artists in the ensemble: Compay Segundo, Rubén González, and Ibrahim Ferrer, who died at the ages of ninety-five, eighty-four, and seventy-eight respectively; Compay Segundo and González in 2003, then Ferrer in 2005.
Several surviving members of the Buena Vista Social Club, such as veteran singer Omara Portuondo, trumpeter Manuel "Guajiro" Mirabal, laúd player Barbarito Torres and trombonist and conductor Jesús "Aguaje" Ramos currently tour worldwide, to popular acclaim, with new members such as singer Carlos Calunga and pianist Rolando Luna, as part of a 13-member band called Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club.

Lleva en su alma la bayamesa
Tristes recuerdos de tradiciones
Cuando contempla sus verdes llanos
Lágrimas vierte por sus pasiones
Si, lleva en su alma la bayamesa
Tristes recuerdos de tradiciones
Cuando contempla sus verdes llanos
Lágrimas vierte por sus pasiones
Si, ella es sencilla, le brinda al hombre
Virtudes todas y el corazón
Pero si siente de la Patria el grito,
Pero si siente de la Patria el grito
Todo lo deja, todo lo quema
Ese es su lema, su religión
Ese es su lema, su religión.

Buena Vista Social Club w/ Ry Cooder: #1 All-Time Greatest Cuban music ever! In the way that Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" is to jazz! I have listened to this album since it was released in 1997 and it only keeps getting better and better (like Steely Dan :) My hat is off to Mr. Ry Cooder who brought this amazing band out of the throes of communist Cuba under Castro and made their debut on the world stage a reality. Forever indebted by such musical greats..

best album ever
