Music legends Buena Vista Social Club are sharing Cuba with Prague at the Kongresové centrum Praha on Saturday, November 13. Hitting the world scene in 1997, the Cuban band was met with almost immediate success. They have sold over 8 million copies of their eponymous album, making them the most commercially successful Cuban musicians in world history. Drawing their name from an exclusive music club in Havana, Cuba, the Buena Vista Social Club began as a project to reunite some of the musicians who had either previously played at the club or were representative of traditional Cubana. They then became a world phenomenon. They have released two studio albums, a self-titled record that made waves in 1997, and a live recording from the Buena Vista Social Club's performance in Carnegie Hall, 2008.
