Four-time Latin Grammy Award winner Eliades Ochoa is one of the most celebrated soneros of all time, known for his masterful guitar playing, gravel-edged voice, and signature black hat. Often called “Cuba’s Johnny Cash,” his music draws from rural traditions and storytelling of the Cuban countryside. A founding member of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club, Ochoa rose to fame through the group's Grammy-winning album and Oscar-nominated documentary. His latest release, Guajiro, is a powerful testament to a lifelong musical journey, deeply rooted in Cuban tradition, yet resonating with universal appeal.
