Description
Compay Segundo
For Compay Segundo, guitarist and singer of Cuba's sensuous and rhythmic son music, now in his 90's, the description 'unique artist' is fully justified, as his sublime performance on Ry Cooder's 1997 Grammy Award-winning Buena Vista Social Club testifies. This concert, filmed at the legendary Olympia in Paris, features an all-star line up of fellow Buena Vista contributors such as Omara Portuondo and Benito Suarez.
The Afro-Cuban All Stars as seen on The South Bank Show
Havana, Cuba during the 1940's and 50's, was one of the most vibrant, thriving and cosmopolitan cities in the Americas, and the dance music capital of the world. Following the Cuban Revolution, and subsequent US embargo, the country and its musicians survived in isolation until 1996 when the young Cuban bandleader Juan de Marcos Gonzalez gathered together some of the greatest Cuban musicians of the last fifty years, to create The Afro-Cuban All Stars. The 'golden age' of Cuban music came out of retirement, to huge international acclaim.
