The musicians who feature in this album were all once part of the Buena Vista Social Club , a membership club that was at its height during the 1940s ; many of them have been performing in Cuba for the last sixty years.

''Buena Vista Social Club'' started a craze in the Western World for Latin American Music , particularly Cuban music. The four opening Chord s of "Chan Chan" are almost instantly recognisable, for example.

In 2003 the album was listed by Rolling Stone magazine as #260 in The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time .
