Chan Chan (Compay Segundo) | Playing For Change | Song Around The World

This song reached the masses from the Buena Vista Social Club project and I have heard so many variations and versions performed around the world ever since. We decided to create our own version while on a trip recording and filming music in Cuba in 2015. The Legendary Pancho Amat on the Cuban tres along with the incredible piano playing of Roberto Carcasses set the framework for this song, and then once we heard Teté Garcia Caturla sing lead vocals we realized exactly why we do what we do. Listen to how well Cuba, the USA, and the Middle East all get along when the music plays. - Mark Johnson, PFC producer and co-founder JOIN THE MOVEMENT Subscribe to our newsletter: Join us as a PFC Member: GET SOCIAL OUR PARTNERS: Audio-Technica—Audio pioneer in high-performance sound design Established in 196
