Compay Segundo

This 90-year-old Cuban guitarist and singer was first brought to the attention of western audiences by Wim Wenders' film 'Buena Vista Social Club', in which he was one of the stars. He's here in Japan to promote his most recent album, a work which features many sounds, largely from the 1920s and 1930s, similar to those performed in the film. On this tour Segundo is hopefully going to be joined by many of the artistes who appear on his album.
