Short story:

Influential Latin music star Billo Frometa suffers a stroke while rehearsing with the Venezuela Symphony Orchestra for a concert-tribute in his honour set for the very next day. Just after he finishes conducting the practice run for Un Cubano en Caracas, he collapses on the ground as the orchestra is applauding his performance. He will die just over a week later.
