In Tocororo, Alfredo Rodríguez’s story is represented by the national bird of Cuba. The tocororo is a bird that if caged dies of sadness, reflecting not only the desire for liberty but the necessity of it. Beyond this facet of meaning, there is also the story of everything else the bird represents: freedom, travel and cross-pollination. In Rodríguez’s case, it represents the cross-pollination of his Cuban culture with all the cultures he’s experienced throughout his musical journey.
