While the Buena Vista Social Club is earning all the fame, these five guys have it going as well: a movie about them ('Lagrimas Negras') and a (long) lifetime full of musical experience. The Vieja Trova has played together as a band for long, and this clearly shows in their music. Out of my collection of Cuban music, this is the CD I usually recommend to friends who have listened to the Buena Vista Social Club and would like to hear more. And more, much more they get to hear!! Always positive for us 'gringos': the booklet comes with the lyrics and much additional information.
