Pereda, Marcos — The New Cuba: Reflections, Stories and Song
Marcos Pereda, a native of Havana, Cuba, and a singer-songwriter who lives in Ukiah, California, is our guest in this edition of Radio Curious. The background music in this weeks program is a song titled “Center” that he wrote and then performed on his guitar in our studios. Pereda returned from a two month visit in Havana on December 20, 2014; he traveled there to attend his mother’s funeral.
In our visit, recorded on December 22, 2014, Pereda shares his music and songs, his thoughts and experiences about life in Cuba and in the United States, and his hopes for the new relationship between the the two nations. We began our conversation when I asked him to tell us about his mother.
Marcos Pereda’s email is: marcosinsonte@hotmail.com.
The book he recommends is “The Little Prince,” by Antoine St. Exupery.
