Buena Vista Social Club is an album with songs from the film of the same name, featuring Cuban music.
The musicians who feature in this album were once members of a members-only club named the Buena Vista Social 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 West for Latin American music, particularly Cuban music. The four opening chords of "Chan Chan" are almost instantly recognisable, for example.
