Eight Gigs: Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club

One of the better cultural fads of the '90s (no, not Beanie Babies) comes to Davis next Wednesday when Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club performs at the Mondavi Center. All of your favorite performers from the 1999 film will be there (minus deceased members) to say adios on their farewell tour, which will wrap up in (where else?) Havana later this year. Seriously, you couldn't go to any vaguely South-of-American restaurant without hearing this record in the late '90s. El Salvadoran papusas? Check. Brazilian acai? Check. I'm pretty sure I even heard it while waiting to pick up some lumpia. One Shields Avenue in Davis, www.buenavistasocialclub.com.
