Review of Buena Vista Social Club: Adios (2017) by Beecee — 28 May 2017

I'm not a newbie to this material, having heard members of the Buena Vista Social Club in concert twice. This movie may not be as immediately accessible to people who have never heard of this group. It basically showcases five major performers: Ruben Gonzales, Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, Eliades Ochoa and Omara Portuondo.

But I felt that, in showing the group members both before and after the first movie, it put their lives in context with their Cuban environment. And there still is that wonderful music.
