Band to Join, Vocalist, Vocalist - Tenor, Vocalist - Soprano, Background Singer, Vocalist - Alto.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).
