Ernesto Juan Castellanos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernesto Juan Castellanos, born in 1963, is a freelance author, translator and journalist who lives and works in Havana, Cuba. In 1996, he started organizing the Cuban Beatles conventions, which opened doors to the world of writing. Castellanos has since written and published four books as well as a number of stories for newspapers and magazines in both Cuba and abroad.
Castellanos has a university degree in English and works variously as a translator and interpreter, in film and live music production management, and as a fixer and production manager for international radio and film crews and bands working in Cuba, most notably the BBC (Michael Palin, Steve Leonard, Rhod Sharp), the Manic Street Preachers, Asian Dub Foundation, Audioslave, and Simply Red.
