ABOUT

My thing is traditional Caribbean music. I play the tres cubano, the national folk instrument of Cuba, which generates the high rhythm in their music. I play son (e.g. Chan Chan), guarachas (e.g. Candela), boleros (e.g. Lagrimas Negras), changuis (e.g. Pastorita, Fiesta de Cecila), cumbias (El Cafetal) and guajiras (e.g. Tiene Sabor, Guantánamera, El Carretero). quecompay, quecompay a t g m ail to chat
