Description
John Radanovich is a alumnus and author of a recent biography about Cuban musician Benny More. Benny Moré (1919-1963) was the greatest singer Cuba has ever produced. Among Cubans and Cuban exiles alike, his name evokes overwhelming nostalgia for the power of his expressive boleros, for his tributes to beloved guajiro towns, and for the irresistible excitement of his up-tempo songs. Sponsored by LACIS. A light lunch and beverages will be served.
