Chan Chan (live)
A popular song from the original Buena Vista Social Club album, “Chan Chan,” opened the group's one-night-only July 1, 1998, Carnegie Hall show; that track is now available in the Nonesuch Store, 10 years after the famous concert. As the Los Angeles Times reported in its Carnegie Hall review, “When the musicians finally walked on stage, the crowd stood and cheered, then erupted at the opening strains of ‘Chan Chan,’ much as a rock audience does on hearing a band’s biggest hit.”
