Arturo Sandoval and the Soundtrack for "Oscar's Cuba"

Today (6 November 2010) is trumpeter, pianist and composer Arturo Sandoval's 61st birthday! Typically on Twitter, I bring attention to a musician's birthday by tweeting links to videos so that everyone can enjoy watching performances by the artist.

While searching YouTube for a recent video featuring Mr. Sandoval, I came across this one where he is recording the soundtrack for a documentary entitled "Oscar's Cuba". During the video, he also discusses what's really going on in his homeland of Cuba and Dr. Oscar Biscet's heroic resistance to the oppressiveness of the government there.

Watch the video. Share with us (myself and the readers of the blog) how hearing what Mr. Sandoval talks about affects how you think about Cuba and the world at large.
