Vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. David Byrne was highly intrigued by new forms of Latin music. In 1990, amidst an embargo on most things Cuban, Byrne ventured to Cuba to explore the music scene firsthand. The result was a series of three albums, with the first being "Cuba Classics 1: The Best of Silvio Rodriguez." This album, which sold an impressive 400,000 copies, became the best-selling record on Luaka Bop. Silvio Rodriguez, often likened to the Bob Dylan of Latin America, not only sang songs of political significance but also captivated audiences with his poetic lyrics, filling stadiums with his powerful performances. His influence on Latin music is truly remarkable.
