Rogelio Suárez
a tobacco-drying village in rural Cuba
Rogelio grew up in a village surrounded by tobacco fields and secaderos de tabaco, where the rich smell of dried leaf is as common as the sound of cicadas. His connection to the municipal park runs deep; it's a place his father took him as a child. Now, he dedicates his days to tending to its legacy, knowing all too well that his work is not well understood or appreciated. At night, he composes music under a simple roof, lulled and inspired by the rustling leaves and the sounds of hidden springs.
