With all the hubbub surrounding the recent trend toward normalizing relations with Cuba, I thought I would repost this March, 2011 video I recorded in Matanza, Cuba. My friend Tony Fernandez is the bass player in this wonderful string quintet. D`Cámara Opus 5 is popular in Cuba and has toured in the United States, Europe and around the Caribbean. Tony asked me to record them during my visit. Here they perform Johann Strauss, Roses from the South.

This national treasure is located in the Luquillo Mountains on the eastern edge of the Island of Puerto Rico. The forest is the only tropical rain forest in the U.S. National Forest System. The forest covers 28, 000 acres and can receive over 200 inches of rainfall each year. It is home to thousands of native plants including 150 different ferns and 240 different kinds of trees.
