Buena Vista Social Club

Ry Cooder's name has helped bring attention to this session, but it's the veteran Cuban son musicians who make this album really special. Reminiscent of Ellington in its scope and sense of hushed romanticism, Buena Vista Social Club is that rare meld of quietude and intensity; while the players sound laid-back, they're putting forth very alive music, a reminder that aging doesn't mean taking to bed. Barbarito Torres's laoud solo on "El Cuarto de Tula" is both more blinding and more tasteful than any guitar showcase on any recent rock album; a quote from "Stormy Weather" and some very distinct parallels to Hawaiian styles remind us of why it's called "world music." --Rickey Wright
Customer Review: Essential for any music collection
I am a fan of many types of music including jazz, rock, dance, blues, bluegrass, classical, world, etc. This is easily one of the top 5 albums ever created, regardless of genre. It is a magical culmination of music, musicians, and timing. If you listen to this (no really, close your eyes and really listen) and are not moved by it, you had better check to see that you still have a heartbeat!
Customer Review: Modern classic
I don't consider my house a home without this album. I seriously put it on repeat. It's one of my favorite to cook and clean to and just leave in the stereo when guests arrive. The DVD of the making of this CD provides a valuable context to what these musicians had been through and make the experience of the album that much more potent for me--I'd recommend the DVD, as well. Ry Cooder does a great job with both.

Few things are as exciting as Broadway shows. Broadway shows mean enjoyment and merriment in one of the most happening places in the world. With many enjoyable and fantastic plays and concerts running in its theatres, Broadway is a constant hub of activity always.

Broadway tickets can be obtained at ticket counters, ticket agencies, organizations, and brokers.

Research shows that almost 98% of all Broadway tickets are sold by ticket agencies like Tele Charge and Ticket Master. Such agencies usually sell tickets at face value and do not allow for any discounts. However, Tele Charge does have special ticket offers for some shows. Such tickets are only for students, seniors, and military people and have to be bought in person, showing relevant identity cards.

Ticket counters also sell discounted and normal-priced Broadway tickets. Discounted tickets like rush tickets and standing room only tickets are available for some selected shows only and sold on the day of the performance. Rush tickets are usually available within $20 to $25.

Usually Broadway tickets of popular shows run out very quickly. Broadway ticket brokers step in here and offer premium seats of those sold-out shows. They normally buy tickets from the public and other people and resell them. Hence, the tickets they offer always have a higher price than the value indicated on the tickets. Almost all genuine and good brokers are licensed members of the National Association of Ticket Brokers and other organizations such as the Better Business Bureau.

Tickco Premium Seating, Tickets Now, Rave Review, Team One Tickets, Tickets.cc, Vivid Seats, BarrysTickets, Webtickets, and Gotickets are some ticket brokers who offer premium seats for almost all Broadway shows.

Discount tickets can be bought by different means. Discount codes on tickets; rush or lottery tickets; standing room only; and student, military, and senior discounts are some types of discount tickets which are available for different types of Broadway shows.

Discounts of nearly 40% to 50% on Broadway tickets are provided by certain companies such as Theater Mania, Playbill, Hitshow Club, Broadway Box, Tele Charge, New York TV Show Tickets, and TKTS among others.
