Good day to all. First, I want to say.....I hope that all that have been affected by the earthquake are doing okay. How terrible it was to hear!
Este Miercoles, hubo un concierto de Ignacio Borrel y su banda "Buena Vista de Corazon" en La Parranda (discoteca). Ignacio Borrel cantaba/tocaba por el grupo "Buena Vista Social Club" de Cuba por un tiempo y fundó su propia banda, que escuchamos Miercoles.
This past Wednesday, there was a concert by Ignacio Borrel and his band the "Buena Vista de Corazon" at La Parranda (club). Ignacio Borrel sang and played for a very famous salsa group called the "Buena Vista Social Club" for a short while and then formed his own band, which we heard Wednesday.
La Buena Vista Social Club era un club exclusivo de miembros en Havana, Cuba. Había bailes y actividades musicales, y pronto el lugar llegaba a ser un localizacion popular para juntar y tocar musica durante los 1940s.
The "Buena Vista Social Club" was an exclusive members only club in Havana, Cuba. There was dancing and musical activities, and soon this location became a popular destination to gather and place music during the 1940s.
En los años noventa, casi 50 años después el club fue cerrado, inspiró una grabación hecha por músico cubano de Juan de Marcos González y guitarrista norteamericano Ry Cooder con músicos cubanos tradicionales, algunos de quien fueron veteranos que habían realizado en el club durante la altura de su popularidad.
In the 1990s, nearly 50 years after the club was closed, it inspired a recording made by Juan de Marcos González and American guitarist Ry Cooder with traditional Cuban musicians, some of whom were veterans who had performed at the club during the height of its popularity.
