Compay Secundo

Singer and guitarist Compay Segundo is the oldest of the Buena Vista gang and the most engaging. Well into his nineties, his wrinkled face as papery as a hand-rolled cigar, the sprightly Segundo can still charm the pants off concert audiences and the housewives he meets as he revisits old haunts in Santiago de Cuba in this loving, gentle portrait.
