In July 1998, a collective of Cuban musicians that became the inspiration for the film Buena Vista Social Club performed a one-night-only show at New York's Carnegie Hall. Today, the two-disc Buena Vista Social Club at Carnegie Hall hits stores, and the film will screen in several U.S. cities, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle (see the full list after the jump).
