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.

¿Qué te importa que te ame
Si tú no me quieres ya?
El amor que ya ha pasado
No se debe recordar
Fui la ilusión de tu vida
Un día lejano ya
Hoy represento al pasado
No me puedo conformar
Hoy represento al pasado
No me puedo conformar
Si las cosas que uno quiere
Se pudieran alcanzar
Tú me quisieras lo mismo
Que veinte años atrás
Con qué tristeza miramos
Un amor que se nos va
Es un pedazo del alma
Que se arranca sin piedad
Es un pedazo del alma
Que se arranca sin piedad

Why do you care if I love you,
if you don’t do it anymore?
Love which has already left,
must not be remembered.
I was your life’s illusion,
one distant day.
Today, I represent the past,
can’t stay quiet.
If the things one wants,
could be reached,
you would love me the same
as twenty years in the past.
With sadness we look at
this love which goes away,
it’s a part of one’s soul,
that tears itself apart, merciless.
Just a free translation in English. Greetings from Athens Greece!

Twenty years
What do you care if I love you
If you don't love me anymore?
The love that has already passed
Must not to be remember
I was the illusion of your life
A distant day already
Today I represent the past
I can't conform
If the things one wants
They could be reached
You would like me the same
That twenty years ago
How sad we look
A love that goes away
It is a piece of the soul
That is torn away without mercy
If the things one wants
They could be reached
You would like me the same
That twenty years ago
How sad we look
A love that goes away
It is a piece of the soul
That is torn away without mercy

Con qué tristeza miramos
un amor que se nos va
es un pedazo del alma
que se arranca sin piedad.

The legendary Compay Segundo and Buena Vista Social Club. Their music is so timeless. I could listen and sing along all day.

I don't understand a single word of Spanish, but this music and its melody are so pure to the point that I found myself memorizing all the lyrics by heart. Music and love are truly universal !
