Eliades Ochoa, legendary Latin Grammy\u2013winning musician of Buena Vista Social Club and Septeto T\u00edpico Oriental fame, makes his Cleveland Museum of Art debut with his sextet.<\/p>\n

Eliades is considered one of the most renowned Cuban\u00a0soneros<\/em>\u00a0of all time, a notable celebrator of traditional Cuban music, and one of the best guitarists of his generation. The rugged features, the signature hat, the cowboy boots and the iconic \u201cman in black\u201d image, and the songs from the school of life imbued with the sort of hard-earned, country-tinged wisdom that can\u2019t be bought\u2014you don\u2019t have to look or listen too hard to understand why he is often called \u201cCuba\u2019s Johnny Cash.\u201d Yet if parallels abound, his new album,\u00a0Guajiro<\/em>, also shows him to be a singular voice with his own unique style and sound, rooted deep in Cuban tradition but with an appeal that is as timeless as it is universal.<\/p>\n

Eliades joined Septeto T\u00edpico Oriental in 1969 and officially entered the Casa de la Trova in 1970, where he began to perform regularly. In 1982, he became part of the Cuarteto Patria as director, arranger, vocalist, and lead guitarist. He influenced the group\u2019s repertoire, keeping alive the tradition of Cuban folk music.<\/p>\n

In the 1980s, Eliades participated in multiple tours with Compay Segundo and Cuarteto Patria. During this time, he recorded the first version of \u201cChan Chan.\u201d Eliades\u2019s unique style of playing the preludes on the guitar left a long-lasting impression, influencing the way other musicians performed the song.<\/p>\n

He is one of the stars and founders of Buena Vista Social Club. With this album, he won his first Grammy for Best Tropical Latin Performance in 1997 and was nominated for an Oscar as part of the 1999 documentary film\u00a0Buena Vista Social Club<\/em>. In this album, Eliades performs some of the most iconic songs of Buena Vista, including \u201cChan Chan,\u201d \u201cEl Cuarto de Tula,\u201d \u201cCandela,\u201d and \u201cEl Carretero.\u201d<\/p>\n

After his time at Buena Vista, Eliades signed with Virgin Records Spain, with whom he recorded\u00a0Sublime Ilusi\u00f3n<\/em>,\u00a0Tributo al Cuarteto Patria<\/em>, and\u00a0Un Guajiro sin Fronteras<\/em>. These albums, two of which were nominated for Grammy Awards, marked a significant point in his artistic career.<\/p>\n

In 2012, his album\u00a0Un Bolero para Ti<\/em>\u00a0won four Latin Grammy Awards. Additionally, he was one of the most notable figures on World Circuit\u2019s album\u00a0AfroCubism<\/em>, which was nominated for a Grammy in 2010 and recognized by National Geographic as one of the best albums in the world that year.<\/p>\n

He has collaborated with a number of stars, including Enrique Bumbury, Luis Eduardo Aute, Manu Dibango, Jarabe de Palo, BL\u00d8F, Charlie Musselwhite, Moncho, Armando Manzanero, Descemer Bueno, and Pablo Milan\u00e9s, among others. In 2013, he was selected to participate in a tribute to Bob Dylan.<\/p>\n

Eliades was the first Cuban to receive the Latin Award Canada in 2018 for his music career. In the same year, a documentary called\u00a0Eliades Ochoa: From Cuba to the World<\/em>\u00a0was released, highlighting his career in music. The documentary received several awards at major film festivals worldwide.<\/p>\n

More recently, Eliades reissued his 2020 album\u00a0Vamos a Bailar un Son<\/em>\u00a0and collaborated with Spanish rapper C. Tangana on the song \u201cMuriendo de Envidia\u201d and with Los \u00c1ngeles Azules on \u201cNac\u00ed en un Pueblo de Latinoam\u00e9rica.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, with the release of\u00a0Guajiro<\/em>, he adds a new and revealing chapter that weaves together all the threads and strands of his storied life and career into a definitive and compelling personal testament that honors his past while ambitiously taking his music into new pastures.<\/p>\n
