Like a Cuban Son: Eliades Ochoa and "All Along the Watchtower"

The random tune for today is an awesome cover of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. Eliades Ochoa is a Cuban guitarist and singer who came to worldwide fame as a member of the Buena Vista Social Club which was popularized by the movie of the same name. A guitar player from the age of 6, he was invited to join the Cuban group Cuarteto Patria as its leader and he began introducing elements of the son musical style into their music. His main instrument is the tres, a Cuban guitar with three groups of six strings, but he also occasionally plays the cuatro, which adds two additional strings. All Along the Watchtower can be found on the 2014 release From Another World: A Tribute to Bob Dylan.
