• Resumen

  • This essay examines the discursive construct of key members of the Buena Vista Social Club CD and documentary. Using the literature of transnational cultural studies, the essays suggests that “authenticity” is a key marker of the mobilization of World Music as a sonic text—and the Buena Vista Social Club an exemplar of this process.
