Pena His trademark cowboy hat and penchant for wearing black have led some to dub him 'Cuba's Johnny Cash'. Eliades Ochoa is considered one of the most important Cuban ‘soneros’ of all time and guardian of traditional Cuban music. His trademark cowboy hat belies the fact that he is a ‘Guajiro’ (from the countryside), and his musical interests run along this traditional line. His repertoire includes 'son', ‘guararcha’, ‘bolero’, ‘changüi’, and ‘Afro-Cuban’ music. Eliades has added D and G-strings to his tres (Cuban guitar), to get his distinctive paired-string chime. In 1986 Pancho Cobas introduced Eliades to the veteran singer Compay Segundo, who at that point had pretty much stopped playing and performing, “Compay gave me this cassette of his songs, old and new, and said that if we liked any of them maybe Patria could perform them. That was the first time I heard ‘Chan Chan’. What a song! I could see that although he was really rusty, he was still very strong and at the time still had this great voice.” Compay joined Cuarteto Patria seeing a revival in his career; they recorded the album ‘Chanchaneando’ in 1989 which featured the original version of ‘Chan Chan’. Eliades would be reunited with Compay, when in 1996 World Circuit made their now legendary trip to Havana’s Egrem Studios; the resulting ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ proved to be an unexpected phenomena changing the lives of everybody involved.
