knowledge of Spanish and modern Cuban history would help you to enjoy.
"I didn't realize the singing was in Spanish and the dialogue was in English. Of course, the music was universal. However, I did enjoy the play, but to thoroughly enjoy it, you should know Spanish and have some knowledge of Cuban music history."

Why I enjoyed Buena Vista Social Club
"While the theme was serious, I was still able to enjoy the production and not get too immersed in the conflicted experiences of the revolution. At the same time, the factors that gave rise to some leaving and others choosing to stay were adequately dealt with and appreciated.
The music was outstanding. There was a lot that was new to me and that was refreshing. The production brought together some exceptionally talented musicians and dancers who made the experience rewarding for the audience.
Finally, I think the team of scriptwriter, producer, director should be commended for getting the balance right."

About
Buena Vista Social Club
It’s been years since legendary singer Omara Portuondo last entered a recording studio. Once known as the “Queen of Feeling,” her voice was celebrated throughout Cuba—until she vanished from the spotlight. But when an ambitious young record producer brings her a rare opportunity, the elusive diva must finally reckon with her past.
Hailed as a "jaw-dropping, soul-stirring must see" (The Washington Post), the Tony® and GRAMMY® Award-winning Buena Vista Social Club is a journey through music and memory into the beating heart of Havana. A world-class company brings the story of the iconic album to thrilling life in this tale of big dreams, second chances, and music that needs no translation.
