The Oscar's brought me here 2024...Buena Vista Social Club was nominated for best documentary....2024...I don't understand a word...however my Heart feels the love in this song...some good days some not so good days...2024
I heard this song once but didn't know its name. You have no idea how crazy it drove me. All I could remember were the guitars pieces and what sounds like bongos. No lyrics, no video but pain. It played nonstop inside my head until now..... Now.....I'm free.
A Cuban cigar, in a smokey bar, chatting, laughing and living life. I think this song sums up Cuban lifestyle perfectly
That song is absolute one of the best Spanish songs I have ever heard๐๐ป๐ Greetings from Serbia ๐จ๐บ๐ท๐ธ
Everytime my father was expecting guests this music was playing all around the house. Instant mood to prepare a party. My father died in 2013 and has been an example how to enjoy life to the fullest. I miss him everyday. I love how this album brings back so much memories of him.
This was my father's favourite song, and we used to listen Buena Vista in those happy times when we were together. Today (22.02.2022) is a second anniversary of my father's death, and I am listening this song in his honour. I miss you, and I want you to know that everything I am today is all because of you.
One of the best songs in the history of music.
During a business trip to Havana I went out to dinner in the beautifully restored part of the old city...as I ate a group of musicians came along...and asked what Id like to hear..the album had just come out and I said Chan Chan...they smiled and for the next 30 minutes played the album and more....man Id love to relive that night.
Spanish language is made for singing and latino fingers are made to touch the guitar. Respect and Love
I will never get tired of listening to this masterpiece.
This music flows through my bones to the soul. Love and respect always to Cuba ๐จ๐บ music!!!
Hay mรบsicas que rompen las fronteras de sus paรญses, y esta es una de ellas. Saludos desde BRASIL hermanos cubanos. Hermanos latino americanos.
My Abuelita was from Cuba. She was the great grandmother to my sons. I learned most of my horrible Spanish from her. She had a terrible time in Cuba. She had to give up her daughter when she was only 6 years old during โ Operation Pedro Panโ. Her husband was tortured and killed, she was imprisoned. She had a perpetual sadness in her eyes but she was very proud and strong. I love that woman and Iโm glad her blood flows in my sonโs veins.
So proud to be a Cuban , and growing up to listening to this pure music itโs just makes me want to go back. I miss the beauty of my motherland
I am from Greece and I was learning guitar when I was very young. My teacher wrote me a whole cd and most of the songs were Cuban. I love the music ๐ฌ๐ทโค๏ธ๐จ๐บ
Dear 'Chan Chan', I have known you for many years now. I have danced with you, on my own, & with strangers, & with loved ones too, some now gone. I have played you, sang you & even performed you a handful of times. You are one of my song-friends. A piece of music that has grown with me over the years, & collected memories. I don't often listen to you, but when I do, it is always with an intention. A homecoming within myself. A moment of nostalgia. A need for a good cry. A soft solitary dance. And you are always there, welcoming me back, every time. Thank you.
VIVA MI CUBA BELLA. TE AMO Y TE NECESITO TIERRA QUERIDA. โค๐๐ข๐ข๐๐ฅฐ๐๐จ๐บ๐จ๐บ๐จ๐บ๐จ๐บ๐จ๐บ๐จ๐บ๐จ๐บ๐จ๐บ๐จ๐บ
A cigar, a cool summer night, your drink of choice and this song playing in the back. Perfection unlocked
my mom used to play this song at the coast of Mombasa when I was 10years old, am now 25. glad to find this masterpiece again.
