Veteran Cuban musicians play son, bolero and danzon in loose, live takes cut at Havana's EGREM studios in March 1996. The ensemble was assembled by bandleader Juan de Marcos Gonzalez and American guitarist Ry Cooder, who produced the sessions and released them through World Circuit in 1997. Wim Wenders filmed the players for a 1999 documentary, later preserved in the National Film Registry.
