The band was formed in 2006 by Froyber Maya and has 10 members, playing music in a variety of Cuban and Colombian genres.
So without further ado, here it is… and Always remember… ¡Sigue disfrutando la musica Cubana!

A few days a wonderful new collaboration was released, compiling several highly talented Cuban musicians resulting in a very nice Son Montuno composition.
So for today, we have Emilito Frias “el Nino” and his band, Alexis Sanchez Mesa (who sang with Orquesta Reve some years ago), Adalberto Alvarez, Pancho Amat and Manolito Simonet at the helm of the arrangement & direction.
The result is wonderful, so without further ado, here it is!

For today we have a very nice live performance from a little while ago, when one could attend a concert with no risk of contracting a deadly viral infection 🙂
This time we shall enjoy a live performance by two primera linea giants – Manolin “el medico de la salsa” and Pachito Alonso y su kini kini, who came together to perform Manolin’s 1996 classic “A Que Me Mantengo”.
So, here it is… and Always remember… ¡Sigue disfrutando la musica Cubana!
P.S:
This is not the first time that a recording of this wonderful composition goes online – here is one of the first live recordings, back in 1996!

With quarantine being all the rage nowadays, what more can we do than have a good look at the view from our balcony or window?
Today’s guest, Wil Campa, sings exactly about this, claiming to have the best view in town 😀
Wil hails from a small village near Pinar del Rio, Cuba, and demonstrated interest in music since an early age, studying at the local school of arts as a child.
His professional career started in 1988 with Orquesta Cumbre, later joining Orlando “Maraca” Valle, with whom he got a Grammy nomination in 2002.
Wil created his own band, “La Gran Union” in 2005 and since then has traveled 5 continents, released several CDs and performed with such Timba stars as Paulito FG and Alexander Abreu.
Today we shall enjoy a recently released tune that vibes quite well with the spitit of our day…

Today we shall enjoy a short but powerful and well made composition by Osmani Collado Martinez, a pianist, saxophonist, composer and arranger, with over 30 years of professional career in the Cuban and international music industry.
Osmani graduated from ENA in 1985, later on also studying in Pinar del Rio’s school of musical.
During the early 1990s Osmani played with Yumuri y sus Hermanos, but his true claim to fame came after joining La Charanga Habanera, playing the keyboard, flutes and saxophone, also composing and arranging with David Calzado, culminating in a Grammy nomination for “Live in USA”.
Today we shall enjoy a single released by Osmani and his own band, released in 2019.

Today we shall listen to a very nice and suave Timba by a little known Cuban septeto named “Aroma de Cuba”.
The band is yet once more one of those who never made it beyond the release of one CD – in this case, “Luz Propia” from 2015.
This Timba is very much to my taste, and I hope that you will enjoy it as well!
And Always remember… ¡Sigue disfrutando la musica Cubana!

Today we shall enjoy a live performance by Paulito FG at Lima, Peru, from back in 2008, a time before the current mess which got most concerts shifted online or cancelled altogether 🙁
Hopefully, this will help you lighted up a bit during these uneasy times…
So without further ado, here it is!

Today we shall enjoy a very nice and suave Son Montuno composition by little known Cuban group named Javier con su Ire.
Up until recently, when internet became more or less widespread in Cuba, it was not rare for groups of young and talented Cuban musicians to record a few singles or a CD at best, then disappear into the unknown…
For every young group that managed to break through and become well known internationally or even nation wide, there are several that didn’t make it past the local level.
The group we are going to listen to today recorded a CD called “Descubreme” in 2003, and unfortunately nothing else since then.
So without further ado, here it is!
And Always remember… ¡Sigue disfrutando la musica Cubana!
