Buena Vista Social Club
Cover of Buena Vista Social Club (album)shows a street view in Havana. A man with a cigarette in his mouth is walking toward the camera with his arms mid-swing, giving a sense of motion to the still photo. A parked, blue car with the rounded design of the early 50s, faces the camera at the opposite curb. The unevenly paved street extends into the distance and is filled by people walking and on bicycle.
