A cup of coffee with Alicia: Kelvis Ochoa, the extraordinary musician who composes while cooking
Strong and sugar-free: that’s how Kelvis Ochoa likes his coffee. Cheerful and generous, as always, he opened the doors to his home, his memories and his dreams.
OnCubaA cup of coffee with Alicia
Kelvis―one of the most established musicians on the current Cuban scene―told us about his passions: music, family, friendship, cooking and life. Music, he affirms, is the engine “that drives me every day to get up and take a little step higher in all aspects: in love, work, as a father, as a citizen.”
He also told us―between one cup of coffee and another―about the projects he’s working on today: an album with Haydée Milanés; the production of songs for Isla Ochoa, his daughter; songs for Lester Hamlet’s soap opera; and the setting up of an intimate corner, “without cards and without scripts” to share “songs, music and signature cuisine.”
Don’t miss this coffee; it was strong and delicious.
