With this episode we depart, a little bit, from the path we’ve been following. We’ve been tracing Cuban music in Canada historically over the decades, from the 1940s. This episode features one musician, pianist Hilario Durán, who many regard as the most significant Cuban musician in Canada, past or present. Fortunately, he’s still an extremely active presence in Toronto. This episode features exclusive interviews with Roberto Occhipinti and Jane Bunnett, just two of many Canadian musicians who sing his praises after many years of collaboration.
