Immigrant Archive Project – Eduardo Caballero [FULL INTERVIEW]
Eduardo Caballero is a pioneer in the Hispanic TV, Radio and Advertising industry. He's been a friend and mentor to me and countless others who have followed in his footsteps. Tony Hernández Filmmaker and Founder of the Immigrant Archive Project (IAP) interviewed Eduardo about his life, career and aspirations. ENJOY.

Mild-mannered and soft-spoken, yet dynamic and purposeful, he evoked the urbane and debonair image of another era — a cubano from days long-gone, a marriage of Savile Row and old Havana elegance. With Eduardo Caballero gone, an era has indeed disappeared. He had been near the birth of the U. S. Hispanic Market and had helped potentiate its growth with a pioneering spirit and the keen eye of a true visionary. by Daisy Expósito-Ulla
