Se Sigue Comentando- 2005:
"Here’s something that’ll make you say “ummm…..” Reve Jr.’s version of the band mixes the traditional sound of tres and trombones and charanga with the intensity and cadences in the coro of timba. There are timba breakdowns, and deep grooves; all the influences the new band carries around with it come together.
Highly Recommended."

Elio Revé Jr. (Elito)
"Elio Revé Jr. took over as director of the orchestra upon the death of his father. He is a graduate of the music schools but also owes much of his musical education to his father. He began at the age of 20 as pianist for the charangón and also worked as arranger for many of the band's hit songs.
Under the direction of Elio Revé Jr., the band has grown increasingly popular in the new millenium, and Elio Revé Jr. has led the band on succesful tours of Europe, the United States and Mexico and has appeared at the prestigious Santa Lucia Jazz Festival.
Elio Revé Jr. is also a founder of the Changüí Festival which is held annually in December in Guantánamo. He has recorded three CDs and one DVD, which I highly recommend, with the charangón and is soon to release another CD with 5 live songs and 5 new songs and an accompanying DVD.
Elio Revé Jr. has maintained the tradition handed down to him from his father and continues to renew the repertoire of the charagón with songs that reach the people and the dancers. The charangón will celebrate 50 years in 2006."
