Listened to part of a concert he recorded live in Havana. Many in the audience were recording him on their phones, and when he asked them to sing along on one song they all seemed to know his song very well. Looks as if he was beloved in Cuba, too.
Very sad news about a truly great songwriter, singer, and well loved artist. May he rest in peace.
