The double album documents the band's whole performance at Carnegie Hall in New York on 1 July 1998, with Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Compay Segundo and Omara Portuondo among the Cuban players. Ry Cooder produced it, and World Circuit released it in October 2008. Parts of the concert appear in the Wenders film. Cooder has said that the moment everyone remembers is Ferrer and Portuondo singing Silencio and dancing on stage.
In 2009 the Independent Music Companies Association gave it a gold award for sales of at least 100,000 copies in Europe.
