Eks-bassisten i Charanga Habanera og Charanga Forever fekk strålande kritikker for si første plate !Yo Tengo El Don..! i 2005 med sitt eiga band La Rebambaramba. No er han ute med si andre plate Yo Soy La Noticia. Dette er er plater me skal spille låter frå både på Timba Night og Fiesta Cubana i tida som kjem.
Her følger Peter Watrous i descarga si anmelding av plata:
" Ah, the sounds of timba, fresh and smart and urgent. Pedro Pablo, a bassist from Havana, has on his second album done what he did on his first, which is make either the best or one of the best timba albums of the year. And what Yo Soy La Noticia brings is the miracle of rhythm arrangements, arrangements worked out in front of dancers, and, though the title track fades too quickly, you can hear what the band does for dancers- roughing out stuttering rhythms and feints, and food for the dancers magination. Pablo´s put the piano upfront too, and the montunos lift the music up and give it a bright new sound; check out how the piano rocks the sound of of the tune "Christina". It´s amazing music, workaday dance music from the streets of havana, but in a 100 years, when the talent to play such profoundly complicated music has been lost, it´s true value will show up. Highly recommended."
