Buena Vista Social Club: Influences

Buena Vista Social Club: Influences

A refined revival of pre-revolution Cuban music, the Buena Vista Social Club drew from composers like Arsenio Rodríguez, whose "Bruca Maniguá" defined the Afro-son style, and Faustino Oramas, an itinerant trovadero known for saucy standards like "Como Baila Marieta." The bassist Cachao's "Camina Juan Pescao" shows where the Club acquired their smooth charanga flavour.
