Olga Diaz Playing A Danza by Rene Touzet

Carlos Miller suggested I post something with music from my mother. I've made this brief slideshow of her.

The soundtrack is a recording she made of Rene Touzet's "Danza Allegre". Touzet was one of Cuba's greatest composers. Two old friends are once again reunited.

UPDATE: Thank you all from the bottom of my heart during these difficult times especially those who were able to attend my mom's funeral today. You guys are great! Love you!

Just beautiful Mike. It brought tears to my eyes.

The main reason I got into videography was because I was unable to capture music with my photos and words.

Great job, Mike. This allows us to hear what we've only been reading about.
