Buena Vista Social Club is a 1999 documentary film directed by Wim Wenders about the music of Cuba . It is named for a danzón that became the title piece of the album Buena Vista Social Club . The film is an international co-production of Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba.
The film documents how Ry Cooder , a friend of Wenders, brought together the ensemble of legendary Cuban musicians to record an album (also called Buena Vista Social Club ) and to perform twice with a full line-up: in April 1998 in Amsterdam (two nights) and July 1, 1998, in the United States (at Carnegie Hall , New York City ). Many of the artists were travelling there for the first time because political tension between Cuba and the United States restricted travel. The film shows their reactions to this experience, includes footage of the resultant sell-out concert and interviews with each of the main performers.
In 2020, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."
