About the artist

Compay Segundo

The Cuban legend COMPAY SEGUNDO is not just a household name in his native country, but a global icon in the world of traditional Cuban music. Born Francisco Repilado in 1907, this cigar-chomping, Panama hat-wearing musician was a key figure in the development of the son genre, blending elements of African and Spanish music to create a sound that was uniquely Cuban. With his distinctive voice and virtuosic guitar playing, Compay Segundo quickly rose to fame in the 1940s as a member of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club. His laid-back style and infectious charisma endeared him to audiences around the world, earning him a legion of devoted fans who couldn't get enough of his infectious melodies and soulful lyrics. But don't let his age fool you – Compay Segundo may have been in his nineties when he finally achieved international stardom, but he was still as vibrant and full of life as ever. His live performances were legendary for their energy and spontaneity, with Segundo effortlessly charming audiences with his witty banter and irresistible charm. Compay Segundo may have passed away in 2003, but his music lives on, inspiring a new generation of musicians to embrace the rich musical heritage of Cuba. So if you're looking for a taste of authentic Cuban music that will transport you to the streets of Havana, look no further than the timeless sounds of Compay Segundo. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
