We all know the parable of the Buena Vista Social Club project because it has entered the collective imagination like few others
Eliades Ochoa is today one of the most famous Cuban musicians of all time, also known as the ‘Cuban Johnny Cash’ for his attitude; he wears black and always wears a cowboy hat. His skill and reputation are such that in 1978 he joins the legendary Cuarteto Patria and becomes its leader, soon afterwards he starts collaborating with Compay Segundo-together they record Chan Chan until he joins the Buena Vista ensemble. He won two Grammys (one American and one Latin) and received multiple nominations, as well as many other prestigious awards with his solo career that led him to collaborate with artists such as Manu Dibango, Pablo Milanes, C. Tangana and many others.
