Pupy Y Los Que Son Son

Dei kjem ut med ny plate no snart. Her er dei med låta La Borrachera frå plata Mi Timba Cerra.



"César "Pupy" Pedroso (aka, "Pupi Pedroso") is one of the key figures not only in Timba, but in the last 30+ years of Cuban pop music. As well as being one Cuba's best and most prolific composers, he played a seminal role in revolutionizing the art of salsa piano playing.
He started with Orquesta Revé and then became a founding member of Los Van Van. In the summer of 2001, he left to form his own group, "Pupy y Los Que Son Son", which has already released two great CD's which have Cuba and Timba fans around the world buzzing.
One of Pupy's favorite collaborators was the late great lyricist Rodolfo Cárdenas, who wrote such LVV classics as "Que le den candela".

Mi Timba Cerrá (with bonus video track)
Import CD (Egrem 0700), Released 2005;

"Yet another genius installment in the Pupy story; let him make six records of his band and tunes a year. There’s nothing like the sense of rhythm on his recordings, and his mixture of intelligence and dance floor power. The recording moves directly into a hard modal groove, the coro, violins and percussion all pumping behind the singers, who on the first tune quote “Blen, Blen, Blen.” And what tumbaos: listen to how Issac Delgado’s "La Bala de Billy" starts its journey. Comes with an embedded video of the band. This is the stuff, raw, sophisticated, and modern.
Highly Recommended. "
