Chan Chan is a video made by director Wim Wenders to the documentary 'Buena Vista Social Club'. This song is a composition by Cuban bandleader Compay Segundo (18 November 1907 - 13 July 2003), revolving around two central characters, 'Juanica' and 'Chan Chan'. The song was one of Compay's last compositions and was written in 1987. "Chan Chan" had already been recorded by the composer himself various times, but worldwide success came with a version with Compay and other Cuban artists Eliades Ochoa and Ibrahim Ferrer as the first song on the album Buena Vista Social Club.
