In this interview, Gay Bryant joins the program to discuss an upcoming event in Australia featuring Cuban musician Elio, who will be performing his latest album, “Standing by the Crossroads”, in Sydney and Melbourne in November. Sponsored by Eastside Radio, the album reflects Elio’s journey as a musician, highlighting the influence of his time spent in both Cuba and New York. The album also incorporates Congolese musical elements and explores religious themes from various Afro-Cuban traditions, such as Arará and Santería, focusing on the concept of “crossroads” in both a personal and spiritual context.
