Irakere in Montreux 1978

Dear forum members,
Cuban anthropologist Miguel Angel García has uploaded a video of that famous concert, recently commented by Chucho and Oscar Valdés. I didn't even know that it existed. The upload is from April 2020, so perhaps many of you haven't been aware of it, either. I have the LP since 1981. It's the original line-up, of course, with Paquito and Arturo Sandoval and Armando Cuervo, and El Niño playing congas. And everybody was so young ...
BTW, Miguel Angel has also uploaded tons of ethnographic material on his "Afrokuba" channel, mostly from Matanzas, and some rare stuff, like Arará, Congo and Gangá. Some of you might be interested in that, too.
Enjoy!
Thomas
