Kultur in Bad Vilbel

Eliades Ochoa is a legendary Cuban singer, guitarist and songwriter who is known and loved worldwide as one of the founders of the Buena Vista Social Club. He is considered one of the most famous Cuban soneros of all time and one of the best guitarists of his generation. Following the phenomenal success of the Buena Vista Social Club, Ochoa released nine albums, won four Latin Grammys, a Latin Award in Canada and was nominated for a Grammy for his 2010 album "Afrocubism". The songs on "Guajiro" - most of them original compositions - are the most intimate and personal Eliades has ever recorded.

"The album tells a lot about me and my story," he says. "It's really my life story, and every song has a deep meaning." "I've been playing traditional Son Cubano for many years, and at this point in my life I wanted to try something new - and I've always loved collaborating with other artists, being open to other rhythms and working with them." "Now feels like the right time for me to tell my stories. I'm doing well and these songs are very close to my heart. You could say it's my manifesto."
