USA: Alfredo Rodríguez - Tocororo (Mack Avenue 2016)


 

Each recording by Cuban pianist and composer Alfredo Rodríguez tells a story. in Tocororo—his new album for Mack Avenue Records—Rodríguez’s story is represented by the national bird of Cuba. The Tocororo is a bird that if caged dies of sadness, reflecting not only the desire for liberty but the necessity of it.
