Not long before he was recruited for the Buena Vista album he had been working with Compay Segundo reviving the master’s career and recording the first version of Chan Chan with him. His contribution to the Buena Vista Social Club sessions included his distinctive guitar playing and his lead vocals on El Cuarto de Tula and his own guajira showcase on El Carretero. Away from the Buena Vista connection, he recorded the 1998 album CubAfrica with Manu Dibango and several solo releases, including 1999's Sublime Ilusión, and Estoy Como Nunca in 2002. He continues to tour regularly. He currently lives in Havana where he is preparing a new album.
