Pianist, composer, arranger and director Bebo Valdés is considered to be one of the main figures of the golden age of Cuban music. During the 1940s, he played with several orchestras in La Habana and recorded albums of Afro-Cuban jazz in those years. Valdés relocated to Stockholm, Sweden in the early 1960s, choosing to perform only in anonymity for the next three decades. The rediscovery of his work in the 1990s was a major event in the Jazz world. Utilizing an all-star group, Valdés (who was 86 at the time) debuts his eight-part magnum opus Suite Cubana. The immersive edition contains new 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos mixes from Jim Anderson.
