Buena Vista Social Club
Two weeks ago at a small bar on Cayo Coco, with only ninety or hundred
in the audience, I went to a two-hour concert by the Buena Vista
Social Club. Great show, and I took about 200 pictures from my seat in
the front row.
This picture gives some indication of the range of age in the band.
He's 83 and in the middle of a few songs he was singing he started
dancing with the much younger woman in her twenties. There were
thirteen in the band with an average age well over fifty and at least
four over seventy. The music ranged from hot Cuban folky to heavy
blues-inflected jazz rock. And they played a few from the Ry Cooder
album.

Sylvain Wiart has replied to Justfolk clubA lot of Cuban bands have existed for decades, even since the 1920s, as organic groupings that keep reproducing a signature sound, through changing fashions and traditions of music and performance. The BVSC is a lot like that, with people who have performed separately and together in different groupings for decades. I don't think there is anything unauthentic in the band as it is showing nowadays -- what Ry Cooder put together twenty years ago was very similar. Cooder's 1996 band is this band, with lots of organic change (including the losses of some of the oldest people, and the integration of both younger and older people) along the way.
