American Strings: Eliades Ochoa

PRAx Presents: American Strings: Eliades Ochoa

One of the most renowned Cuban soneros of all time, a notable defender of traditional Cuban music, and a legendary guitarist and tresero of his generation, Eliades Ochoa joins American Strings host Kelly Bosworth for a one-on-one conversation before playing a full set with his band.

Come hear how Ochoa, alongside Compay Segundo and the veteran musicians of the Buena Vista Social Club, inspired a global craze playing traditional songs that pay homage to the Spanish and African roots of Cuban music. And yes, you can expect to see this legendary, multi-Grammy-winning champion of the Son Cubano wearing his signature cowboy hat.
