ELIADES OCHOA: FROM CUBA TO THE WORLD (2nd release) (2nd release)

ELIADES OCHOA: FROM CUBA TO THE WORLD (2nd Release) traces the life and career of acclaimed guitarist and singer Eliades Ochoa, who rose to worldwide fame in the late ‘90s as an original member of the legendary international Cuban band, The Buena Vista Social Club. But his passion for his country's musical heritage began much earlier, as a boy listening to his parents play the Cuban tres guitar. Ochoa quickly learned to play by ear, even constructing his own guitar from scraps to practice. Over the decades, he has played with several folk groups and dedicated his life to celebrating and preserving the traditional folk roots of Cuban music. In 2015, amid a normalization of relations between the U.S. and Cuba, Ochoa played with the Buena Vista Social Club for President Obama, the first Cuban band to perform in the White House in more than 50 years.
