Ruben Gonzalez is dead


Pianist Rubén González was first recorded in 1943 with Cuban son innovator Arsenio Rodriguez, el Ciego Maravilloso. He's accompanied many other musicians since then. In 1998, he came out of retirement to play on the Afro-Cuban All Stars album with World Circuit, which later asked him to make a solo debut. And of course, he was a part of the famous Buena Vista Social Club CD.
