favorites&#8211;and it comes from a most unexpected pairing.<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, The Buena Vista Social Club released their second album in their\u00a0<em>Rhythm del Mundo<\/em> series, in which they reinvent classic pop and rock songs by teaming up with US, UK, and Irish vocalists and backing them with a Cuban-infused instrumental track&#8211;all to raise funds and awareness for climate change and disaster relief.<\/p>\n<p>For &#8220;Because the Night,&#8221; they chose Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall, and together, Tunstall and the BVSC found a Latin groove that highlights and enhances the sultriness of the lyrics (Patti Smith&#8217;s version, I should note) more than even Bruce&#8217;s original arrangement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span
