Eliades
Ochoa y El Cuarteto Patria
- The Lion is Loose!
Even
before Eliades Ochoa made his now famous CD with the Buena Vista
Social Club he was already considered to be 'the Lion of Santiago',
the greatest musician in the Casa de la Trova where he would sit
down in front of the small audience and sing words of this Puerto
Rican plena about the people who run out of the zoo once they
hear that the Lion is Loose.
It
took the Buena Vista phenomenon to win Eliades the recognition
that he deserves although this, his second CD with Corason,
reveals the enormous talent that he has as a guitarist and singer,
with or without the more recent international fame.
