He went to Cuba and found the Old Boys who made up one of the great Cuban Son Bands (pre-Castro). He found them a studio, rehearsed them and and backed them on slide guitar. Get their CDs of this great group of long-suffering guys playing the good Stuff and also the video that Ry Produced when he brought them all to America (New York) for the first time to an emotional, sold out group of tearful Cubanos, Puerto Ricanias, whites, black, asians, all going nuts ove the chance to see these guys for real. Here's a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXwLBS3yUkA I'm for sure not of Latin descent, but when I watched this concer t, I couldn't sit still and the tears came every minutes. If Cuban Cigaars were wine, this would be vintage Margeaux. What a reunion. What a tribute to real Cuban Music. OK OK. I'll sit down now?
