What an amazing evening of pulsating Cuban music from Eliades Ochoa at the Barbican. The staid Barbican was transformed into a storm of tropical music with an audience of swaying bodies. It was a true priviledge to be there to hear this veteran of the Buena Vista Social Club.

As well as his own unique guitar style and singing he was complemented by a band of stunning quality who kept up a dynamic beat the whole evening. Listing to the album of Buena Vista takes on whole new meaning when you have heard the songs played live and been part of his grande familia!
