Cuban guitarist Manuel Galban died last week at the age of 80. He was best known for being in a Cuban doo-wop band Los Zafiros in the 1960s but gained wider acclaim recording with Ry Cooder and the Buena Vista Social Club. Music critic Betto Arcos talks to Marco Werman about the legacy Galban leaves behind.
