  A Moment for an Icon
Cuban singer-songwriter Pio Leyva has passed away at the age of 88.

Like a number of prominent Cuban musicians, Leyva was really first noticed in this country following the release of the documentary, "Buena Vista Social Club." What a debt of thanks we owe Ry Cooder and Wim Wenders for making that film....and to Pio Leyva for the decades of music he gave the world.
