Music has lost another member of the legendary Cuban group Buena Vista Social Club. Faustino Oramas, El Guayabero, died on Tuesday at the age of 95 at a hospital in Holguin, Cuba:
Acting President Raul Castro, who was temporarily handed power in July after 80-year-old Cuban leader Fidel Castro underwent emergency stomach surgery, sent a floral tribute, the state news agency AIN said.Often called the king of double-entendres, Oramas composed “Candela” — one of the most rhythmically charged tracks on the 1997 Buena Vista CD.
El Guayabero is the fifth member of Buena Vista to die in the past 4 years; others who have left us are Compay Segundo, Ruben Gonzalez, Ibrahim Ferrer and Pio Leyva.
