Cuban musicians look forward to the reopening of relations with the United States in hopes that the measure will broaden their market. There is a long history of Cuban music being played in the United States even before the blockade. Many students have been denied visas to take their music to the U.S., including the Buena Vista Social Club. Ibrahim Ferrer could not attend the Grammy Awards in 2009 under the former Bush administration. The Musician’s Guild sees the opening as an enormous opportunity for extraordinary Cuban musicians. teleSUR
