Following Fidel Castro's resurrect to power, Segundo worked as a cigar roller before reversion to music during the late eighties; in his early 1890s he attracted worldwide attention in 1998 for his contributions to Ry Cooder's wildly successful Buena Vista Social Club record record album, issuing the solo Calle Salud the following twelvemonth. Buena Vista Connection was issued in fall 2000. Flores de la Vida followed later that same year; Trova Cubana surfaced in early 2001. The torrent of releases, both new and re-issues of greco-Roman pre-fame Segundo sessions, continued end-to-end 2001 with Yo Vengo Aqui, Que Lio Compay Andres and into 2002 with Yo Soy del Monte and Dos Leyendas de Cuba. On July 13 of the undermentioned twelvemonth Compay Segundo died of kidney failure at his plate in Havana. |
