"Buena Vista Social Club," one of the more "listened-to" films of the last year, comes to the small screen in a PBS presentation at 8 tonight on Channel 19. The Wim Wenders documentary, nominated this year for an Academy Award, is a portrait of several aging Cuban music legends who were recruited - in some cases, out of retirement - by a team of admiring producers in the United States and England. The resulting CD sold 3 million copies and won a Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album. A short film following "Buena Vista Social Club" shows how the movie has re-energized the Afro-Cuban club scene in New York City. @ART CAPTION:Director Wim Wenders escorting musician Compay Segundo in "Buena Vista Social Club." @ART:Photo >>>
