5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I was a Carnegie in '98 to See them, May 17, 2004
By 
Angelo M. Sanchez (Richmond, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Down from the Mountain / Buena Vista Social Club (DVD)
I wish was could have been a Carnegie Hall in '98 to see this group. I watched this DVD with tears in my eyes because I knew this was era and a set of legends that will fade into time. I will try to teach my children of their contribution to the spirit of music in my life time and a culmination Afro-Cuban but most of all the spirit of the Americas!!!

Este es una experiencia unica, si eres un amante de la musica y el arte. Es increible lo que estos seres humanos pueden hacer con tan pocos medios, la unica explicacion que yo puedo encontrar es su amor a la musica

5.0 out of 5 stars lo mejor de lo mejor, July 6, 2002
This review is from: Down from the Mountain / Buena Vista Social Club (DVD)
es una fina muestra de la incomparable musica cubana, a la que la mayoria de nosotros no tenemos acceso. este es una obra maetra de la musica universal, contemporaneadelicada y deliciosa. musicalmente tiene ritmo, cadencia, cuerpo y melodia. si te gusta la buena musica, este dvd es un deber.
