Even before Eliades Ochoa made his now famous CD with the Buena Vista Social Club he was already considered to be 'the Lion of Santiago', the greatest musician in the Casa de la Trova where he would sit down in front of the small audience and sing words of this Puerto Rican plena about the people who run out of the zoo once they hear that the Lion is Loose. It took the Buena Vista phenomenon to win Eliades the recognition that he deserves although this, his second CD with Corason, reveals the enormous talent that he has as a guitarist and singer, with or without the more recent international fame. Para su segundo CD, grabado en Santiago de Cuba, la inconfundible guitarra y la voz de Eliades Ochoa, con la sonoridad hipnótica y sensual del Cuarteto Patria, ofrece un repertorio de sones y boleros cubanos con mucho énfasis en las joyas compuestas por Compay Segundo y su compañero en el legendario dúo, Los Compadres. Además, con la plena puertorriqueña, "Se soltó un león", Eliades revela la fuente de su apodo como 'El león' de Santiago de Cuba. TRACKS: 1. Venga guano (son montuno) 2.
