Music producer and journalist Gianluca Tramontana joins Grammy Award-winning composer, pianist, educator, and founder of the Afro-Latin Jazz Alliance Arturo O'Farrill, for an exploration of changüí - a rarely documented roots music from the Guantánamo region of Cuba, where Tramontana spent several months capturing the music of the changüiseros. Those recordings have been released in a critically-acclaimed collection on Petaluma Records: https://www.petalumarecords.com
