In our conversation with Cuban native Lisset Diaz (aka Lizzy of the Sweet Lizzy Project) we learned the value of being in the right places at the right times. If making great music is only part of the formula for success in a tough business Sweet Lizzy Project is well on their way. Mix in their good fortune of being profiled in a PBS documentary \\u201cHavana Time Machine\\u201d along with the \\u201cMavericks\\u201d from Nashville and lead singer Raul Malo. That connection led to an invitation to Nashville, an opportunity that was almost lost to Washington\\u2019s change in visa policy under the current White House. Fortunately Sweet Lizzy Project had performed for American diplomats in Cuba and managed to get their paperwork through just under the wire. \\n\\nListen to this Global Tennessee Podcast to hear the rest of Lisset\\u2019s and the band\\u2019s story of making great music in Nashville, inside a Tennessee mountain cavern and in their travels around America \\u2013 \\u201ca distinctive sound imbued with overtones of classic American indie pop-rock suffused with an intoxicating Latino flair.\\u201d We have several of Sweet Lizzy Project\\u2019s songs in our Podcast for your enjoyment.\\n\\nThe Sweet Lizzy Project \\u2013 official web site\\nhttps://www.sweetlizzyproject.com\\n\\nThe Sweet Lizzy Project perform in \\u201cBluegrass Underground\\u201d inside the Caverns of the Cumberland Mountains\\nhttps://youtu.be/IUsO-M7oEc8 \\n\\n\\u201cHavana Time Machine\\u201d\\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/havana-time-machine-full-episode/7326/ (Paywall for NPT members)\\n\\t\\n\\u201cRaul Malo explores music, Cuban heritage in 'Havana Time Machine'\\u201d\\nhttps://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/2017/10/04/raul-malo-havana-time-machine-documentary-pbs/724224001/"
