Eliades Ochoa

Legendary Cuban singer, guitarist and songwriter Eliades Ochoa is well known and loved worldwide as one of the original members of Buena Vista Social Club, having famously lent his vocals to that album’s iconic opener Chan Chan.

In the wake of Buena Vista’s phenomenal reception, Ochoa has released 9 albums, won 4 Latin Grammys and received a Grammy nomination (for 2010’s Afrocubism). Produced by Demetrio Muñiz and featuring guests Rubén Blades, Joan As Police Woman and Charlie Musselwhite, Guajiro cements his reputation as one of the most vital artists to come out of Cuba in the last century.

The first single, Se Soltó Un León, a classic Puerto Rican plena with blazing horn arrangements, is available to listen to now.
