Indeed! Afro-Cubism is quite good, as well:

Afro-Cubism is World Circuit's dream project - the original intention for Buena Vista Social Club was a stellar collaboration of musicians from Mali and Cuba.
Now the original plan has finally been realised with first-time invitees Cuban singer/guitarist Eliades Ochoa and the Malians Bassekou Kouyate (ngoni) and Djelimady Tounkara (electric guitar) joined by Eliades' Grupo Patria and Toumani Diabaté (kora), Kasse Mady Diabaté (vocals) and Lassana Diabaté (balafon).
I actually heard Afro-Cubism first, one morning on NPR... this led to my "discovery" of BVSC... Wow! great music.

A favorite from BVSC:
