Chan Chan - Buena Vista Social Club. This is the signature song of Francisco Repilado, a.k.a Compay Segundo, a classic ' son ', the standard of traditional Cuban music.
Songfacts®: This song contains lyrics in Spanish which tell the story of a couple - Chan Chan and Juanica - who are building a house and go to the beach to get some sand. The group was named after a private club in Havana, Cuba that was a popular place for music in the 1940s.
The Buenavista Social Club was a members-only club originally located in Buenavista (literally good view ), a quarter in the current neighbourhood of Playa (before 1976 part of Marianao ), one of the 15 municipalities in Cuba's capital, Havana.
Released in 1997 as part of the Buena Vista Social Club album, “Chan Chan” marked an important chapter in Cuban music history. Produced by Ry Cooder, this iconic song brought together a collective of talented musicians who had been out of the spotlight for decades.
