My Ten Books of Summer 2017

Cathy over at 746 Books invites us to participate in the following book challenge. To participate, all you have to do is pick the 10, 15 or 20 books that you intend to read and review between 1 June to 3 September, 2017, list the books on your blog and link back to Cathy Master post here. 

My aim is to reduce my pile of to-be-read books. For this reason I’m listing, here below in no particular order, twenty of the books I have on my TBR shelf and my intention is, not to buy any more books until I had read them all.

OT: Rubén González (pianist)

Rubén González Fontanills (May 26, 1919 – December 8, 2003) was a Cuban pianist. Together with Lilí Martínez and Peruchín he is said to have “forged the style of modern Cuban piano playing in the 1940s”.

Between the 1940s and his retirement in the 1980s, he played with Cuba’s most successful acts, including Paulina Álvarez, Arsenio Rodríguez, Orquesta América del 55, Orquesta Riverside and Enrique Jorrín. In the 1990s, he came out of retirement to play in the revival ensembles Afro-Cuban All Stars and Buena Vista Social Club, also recording solo material and performing live until 2002.
