'Buena Vista Social Club' is both the name given to this extraordinary pool of musicians and the album, recorded in just six days in Havana's 1950s vintage EGREM studios. No one could have predicted that Buena Vista Social Club would become a worldwide phenomenon, outselling any other record in the same genre, elevating the artists to superstar status and popularising Cuba's rich musical heritage, all of which has contributed to a massive boom in Cuba's tourist and recording industries. 'Buena Vista Social Club' was released in June 1997 and has since come to be regarded as a classic, selling 7 million copies worldwide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buena Vista Social Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54267541651791,"sku":"1438","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/6785\/6975\/files\/397e27f665310108cc20e9862aef1932_444468d1-e0cf-41a4-bc36-478fc8ec30ba.webp?v=1737453727"},{"product_id":"live-at-soledad-prison-1982","title":"Live at Soledad Prison 1982","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJamaican reggae supergroup Black Uhuru, captured at the height of their powers. 1982 was a fertile but latent moment for reggae; allegedly, only three radio stations dedicated to the genre existed in the US: Doug Wendt in San Francisco, Roger Steffens in LA, and Lance Linares in Santa Cruz. Perhaps it was this relative lack of attention that spurred the lattermost radio host to facilitate a Black Uhuru live show at Soledad Prison, SC, owing to his desire to help inmates acquire professional skills that could be used after release. It's striking, really, as it's almost unheard of to imagine music existing among the occupations that inmates might consider nowadays - but such were the ways back then. To Lance's surprise, his idea was enthusiastically accepted and the group performed in front of a full house at Soledad Prison.
