Gathering music all over Mexico
The Mexican biochemist who helped discover the Buena Vista Social Club.
Eduardo Llerenas is a Mexican biochemist and musicologist who became obsessed with travelling to remote parts of his homeland and recording folk music. He has launched the careers of many traditional artists from Latin America - the famous Buena Vista Social Club may not have come into being had it not been for him. Outlook's Clayton Conn went to meet him.
