The Buena Vista series continues with solo albums from the GRAMMY winning Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, Rubén González, Guajiro Mirabal, and the innovative albums from CachaÃto López and Angá DÃaz, which take Cuban music into the new millennium and beyond. Ten years after the legendary New York concert World Circuit release Buena Vista Social Club At Carnegie Hall in October 2008. World Circuit’s African artists enjoy equal prestige, with Malian bluesman Ali Farka Touré’s GRAMMY winning Talking Timbuktu album recorded with Ry Cooder being the album that brought the label international acclaim.
