Juan De Marcos – Womadelaide 2011 LIVE! – Onsite interview

Cuban bandleader Juan de Marcos Gonzalez is probably best known as the man who put together the Buena Vista Social Club back in the mid-90s – finding those great old Cuban musicians, and encouraging them out of retirement for one last blast of international fame. 

He was also the founder of the well-known Cuban band Sierra Maestra, and currently leads the Afro-Cuban All-Stars – a cross-generational band that features some of the best veteran players, alongside the most talented younger musicians in Cuba today.
