The Buena Vista Social Club tradition continues

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Ten years ago, a group of Cuban musicians known as the Buena Vista Social Club made what became the biggest-selling world-music album ever. On today's show, the album's producer, Ry Cooder, shares a new CD release by the ensemble, and talks about where Latin music has gone in the years since. Also: Minneapolis hip-hop duo Atmosphere has been a major figure on the underground rap scene for over a decade. They join us in advance of their show at Irving Plaza this week.
