Movie Night: Buena Vista Social Club July 13, 2010

Join us for dinner and a movie!

Ry Cooder has composed the musical score for several Wim Wenders films including Paris, Texas, and The End of Violence. Wenders now turns the camera on Cooder.
 In 1996, Ry Cooder gathered together some of the greatest names from the history of Cuban music from the 30's, 40's and 50's to collaborate on the best selling and Grammy winning album The Buena Vista Social Club.

Inspired by these colorful characters and their extraordinary music, Wenders travels to Havana, Cuba to chronicle the cooperation and camaraderie between Ry Cooder and his veteran friends -- now known in Cuba as "Los Superablos (the Super-Grandfathers)" -- as well as their dazzling sellout concerts in Amsterdam and New York's Carnegie Hall in April and July 1998.
