Michael Jackson: The Last Legend

its tough to grow up and see the ones that made the journey worth while leave on an exit too soon. He recorded some of the best-selling albums in history and has left a legacy of his music and career-a token of memory for those that witnessed his journey and an inspiration for those yet to fall in love with the King of Pop.

(August 29, 1958- June 25, 2009)

A Musical Golden Age: Buena Vista Social Club

my favorite musical group

The Buena Vista Social Club was a members club in Havana, Cuba . It was a popular location for musicians to play and a locale that held musical activities and dances during the 1940s. The same place that had represented Cuba's golden age of music and that had closed down fifty years ago, inspired a recording between Ry Cooder and traditional Cuban musicians, some who had performed at the club during the height of its popularity. The artists who got together formed under the name of the Buena Vista Social Club. This is the link to the amazing award-winning documentary about the group: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahuduPpZJQA&feature=featured
