Eliades Ochoa is an emblematic figure in Cuban music, and can boast of a completely flawless career. This simple cow-boy from Santiago succeeded in doing the unbelievable by having his album «Sublime Ilusion» nominated in the Grammy Awards, in the «Best interpretation of a traditional tropical album» category. A shy, Cuban peasant, Eliades Ochoa took control in 1978 of the Cuarteto Patria group, that had already existed for forty years, and led it to international fame. From its origin, the group saw prestigious names cross its path, such as Compay Segundo, Reinaldo Hierrezulo, Manu Dibango, Ry Cooder and Charlie Musselwhite…. But Eliades Ochoa is above all one of the stars of the «Buena Vista Social Club» phenomenon, for which he received a Grammy award. A vocal artist and guitarist, Eliades Ochoa has worked with many groups during his career, including the Septeto Cubano, the Casa de la Trova and the Cuarteto Patria, with whom he recorded two albums. With the help of traditional Cuban music which he masters so well, Eliades Ochoa will unveil for the public the Cuban countryside and mountains in order to share with the spectators the celebration of the Son, the Guaracha and the Boléro.
