In a recent video segment, CBS Mornings Plus co-anchor Adriana Diaz sat down with Buena Vista Social Club co-choreographers Justin Peck and Patricia Delgado, a husband-and-wife duo whose personal story is deeply tied to the music.
The duo talked about the show, which has found success on Broadway, earning five Tony Awards this year.
"To me, it's all a mystery. That's the intrigue of it all. It's like, how can you describe why people from all over the world feel this music?," Delgado reflected. "A lot of what is so powerful is the idea that when they made this album, it was a second chance for them. I think that is such a universal idea, that you never know when the opportunity is going to come."
