Daniel Martin - Cuba's Next International Pop Star?

Most of our readers are familiar with the music that is pura cubana in origin and are aware that Reggaeton and Hip Hop happen there as well, but many readers may be less aware of the fact that most of the rest of the spectrum of what many would call "pop" music is also performed on the island as well. This young man, Daniel Martin, performs most of those other styles from ballads to Cubaton to techno all at once and is beginning to make his presence felt internationally (including some work with Madonna) while remaining based in Havana and maintaining some definitely Cuban sensibilities in his work. We recently had the opportunity to get to know him better and found his story interesting enough to take advantage of that opportunity to get a closer look at a part of the Cuban music scene that doesn't get as much coverage up here.
