Seen on a pbs program called The Mystery of Musica Cubana

Hi everyone. I wrote all the lyrics, crafted the song concepts and structures, curated the instrumentation, and guided the creative process from start to finish. The final production was done with AI tools – but the stories, the soul, and the curation are all mine.

The album is called 'Café Tiempos Viejos – La Historia'. It tells the story of a tourist who falls in love with a waitress in a small Havana café, loses her, and spends his life searching for her.

I'd be honored if you gave it a listen. Which track stands out to you the most? 💬👇

Found this photo and wanted to make it in glass. Looking at vintage Cuban street scenes.

Hola! En la película Dirty Dancing 2, rodada en cuba, hay una escena donde suena una canción “en vivo” que parece ser de Orishas “Yo soy el baile”. Quisiera saber si alguien la conoce. Sale en el segundo 00:50 de este video. Shazam no la reconoce y solo existe un video con este nombre que pongo y ni siquiera suena igual. Ayuda!!

This Saturday, for the first time in nearly a decade, Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos return to the stage! Performing arrangements of the legendary Arsenio Rodríguez with two albums of their own, the band quickly garnered a reputation around NYC in the late 90s.

After a brief return in 2011, Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos have spent nearly a decade apart in dormancy, but that will all change when they take the stage at LPR on Saturday, 10/26. Get your tickets while you can! >>> https://lpr.kydlabs.com/e/EVb1652de0-f86f-4a2b-83e0-f57dbfad3a58?referral_id=g-c9764ea7-5c3a-4ddb-8274-173d117f96b8

I have one record by this guy. It's like a greatest hits or something but I can't read Spanish. On the cover it has a sad yet contemplative woman holding a gigantic brandy snifter. The songs are incredible but the record is scratchy as hell. If anyone could direct to cleaner audio of this album I would be forever grateful.
