Subject: RE: Buena Vista Social Club! (The Film)
Sorry if I'm 'late to the dance' but we just caught the BVSC film last night. No need to do 'film criticism' (sniping) on the program. Like Wim Wenders (film maker), like Ry Cooder (producer), 1st half of the film was too slow, 2nd half was the good part. What I will remember is the talents of the musicians performing in the movie -

Luis Barzaga (backing vocals)
Joachim Cooder (drums)
Ry Cooder (guitar)
Juan de Marcos González (guitar, vocals, percussion)
Carlos González (bongos)
Manuel "Guajiro" Mirabal (trumpet)
Eliades Ochoa (vocals, guitar)
Julienne Oviedo Sanchez (timbales)
Omara Portuondo (vocals)
Barbarito Torres (laúd)
Amadito Valdés (percussion)
Alberto "Virgilio" Valdés (percussion)
Lázaro Villa (vocals, percussion)
Jesus "Aguaje" Ramos (trombone)
Papi Oviedo (tres)
