Eliades

Eliades Ochoa, the Cuban singer, songwriter and guitarist well known as one of the original members of Buena Vista Social Club, returns with his brand new album 'Guajiro', a collection of beautiful and melodic songs that cements his reputation as one of the most important artists to come out of Cuba in the last century. Featuring guest artists Rubén Blades, Joan As Police Woman and Charlie Musselwhite.

AfroCubism is more than a fusion. I call it an explosion because it's the merging of two such strong powers. It's the musical big bang. ~Eliades Ochoa

Coming almost two decades after the release of the original Grammy-winning, self-titled LP, the new album is a collection of previously unreleased tracks––some of which were recorded during the original album’s sessions in Havana and others from the years that followed. The studio tracks on Lost and Found were recorded at the 1996 Egrem studio sessions in Havana and during a period of rich and prolific creativity stretching into the early 2000s following the recording of the original album. Lost and Found also features live recordings from the world tours of Buena Vista’s legendary veterans.

Hand-made songs, delightfully crooked, like cigars. Songs for exquisite eardrums. Select quality for music- lovers and demanding collectors Cuban music for fun and pleasure. A luxury for a global minority. In MADE IN CUBA you will find a natural gathering of genres, periods, and the great figures and values of Cuban music. Songs that have walked through the doors of our lives and have comfortably installed themselves in the urban legens at the end of the millennium, driven by the warmth of a new way of thinking, apparently crossbred and global. Songs that bring a new understanding of both traditional and modern values. Made in Cuba is a duble album, the cream, the most expensive cohibas of Cuban music: Eliades Ochoa, Compay Segundo, Los Van Van, Benny More, Bola de Nieve, firahilfi'fierrer, el Trlo Matamoros, Pepesito Reyes, Celia Cruz, Cachao, La Lupe and El Guayabero amongst others…
