## Biography

Barbarito Torres, born Bárbaro Alberto Torres Delgado in 1956 in Matanzas, Cuba, is a Cuban musician specialising in the laúd, a traditional Cuban lute associated with punto guajiro music.

He played in military bands in the 1970s, later joining Orquesta Cubana de Cuerdas and becoming musical director for Celina González’s Grupo Campoalegre. In 1996 he joined the Afro-Cuban All Stars, which led to his inclusion in the Buena Vista Social Club project. He performed on the group’s recordings and appeared as himself in the 1999 documentary film *Buena Vista Social Club*.

Torres has released solo albums including *Havana Café* (1999) and continues to tour with Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club as one of the last surviving original members.
