They do, actually. They're both produced by Juan de Marcos Gonzáles
(who is the band leader of and plays tres in Sierra Maestra), and Buena
Vista Social Club is a spinoff project of Afro-Cuban All Stars, although
only few musicians are in both groups. The first Afro-Cuban All Stars
album ("A Toda Cuba le Gusta") was recorded in the same sessions as the
BVSC albums.
