Released in 1997, the album Buena Vista Social Club became a Grammy-winning international success. After its release, group member Eliades Ochoa saw his popularity skyrocket and his career take off. Directed by Cynthia Biestek, this documentary perfectly captures the rhythm of Cuba’s musical heritage and highlights the singer-songwriter and guitarist’s unique personality. A vibrant portrait of this landmark work of traditional Cuban music that resonated far beyond the island’s shores.
