Within three days of the project's birth, Cooder, Gold and de Marcos had organized a large group of performers and arranged for recording sessions to commence at Havana's EGREM Studios, formerly owned by RCA records, where the equipment and atmosphere had remained unchanged since the s.
The album was recorded in just six days and contained fourteen tracks; opening with 'Chan Chan' written by Compay Segundo, a four chord son that was to become what Cooder described as 'the Buena Vista's calling card'; [17] and ending with a rendition of 'La Bayamesa', a romantic criolla composed by Sindo Garay not to be confused with the Cuban national anthem of the same name.

It felt like a club, so let's call it that. That's what gave it a handle. Upon release on 17 September , the CD became a huge 'word of mouth hit', far beyond that of most world music releases.
A total of twenty musicians contributed to the recording including Ry Cooder's son Joachim Cooder, who at the time was a year-old scholar of Latin percussion and provided drums for the band.
Ry Cooder himself played slide guitar on several songs and helped produce and mix the album, afterwards describing the sessions as 'the greatest musical experience of my life'.
Known for his slide guitar work, his interest in roots music led him to record music from diverse genres including Tex-Mex, Hawaiian and Tuvanthroat singing. Many of the Cuban musicians who featured on the album were at their musical prime in the s and s. After the success of the record they became known in Cuba as ' Los Superabuelos ' the Super-Grandfathers. Cooder later described the discovery as something that happens 'perhaps once in your life', and Ferrer as 'the Cuban Nat King Cole'.

Shortly after returning from Havana to record the Buena Vista Social Club album, Ry Cooder began working with German film director Wim Wenders on the soundtrack to Wenders' film The End of Violence , the third such collaboration between the two artists.
According to Wenders, it was an effort to force Cooder to focus on the project, 'He always sort of looked in the distance and smiled, and I knew he was back in Havana. The completed documentary was released on 17 September , and included scenes in New York of the Cubans, some of whom had never left the island, window shopping and visiting tourist sites. Ferrer, from an impoverished background and staunchly anti consumerist, was shown describing the city as 'beautiful' and finding the experience overwhelming.
