• Legendary pianist Bebo Valdes was one of the most popular band leaders in pre-revolutionary Havana. He left Cuba in 1960, ending up in Sweden where for many years he lived a quiet life in a Stockholm suburb. The resurgence of interest in Cuban music gave him his own Bueno Vista moment when he went back into the recording studio in the mid-90s, resulting in festival and concert appearances

• Double CD recorded in 1998 to mark his 80th birthday. Bebo plays piano backed by a percussion group which includes his son Rickard

• Booklet full of photos, with detailed notes by Samuel Charters, including transcription of an interview.
