Lots of people make a point to keep their personal life separate from their work life. But not Otmaro Ruiz and Catina DeLuna. They’re both Latin jazz musicians—and husband and wife.

Otmaro and Catina tell us what it’s like to work with your spouse in very close quarters, and how this collaboration really paid off in the end.
