When it comes to Cuban son, you should look towards Santiago de Cuba. The most genuine rhythms of traditional Cuban music (son, guaracha, danzón, changüí, bolero-son ...) have in the east of the island the best showcase. And if you are looking for the most balanced model, which combines experience and youth, respect for tradition, but investing in musical innovation and quality compositions of their own, the brightest band that currently has the septet format and is based in Santiago is Septeto Santiaguero.

 

Neither too young nor too old, this band is the finest example of Cuban son for the new millennium. Founded in 1995 by Fernando Dewar, the band’s director, the Septeto Santiaguero brings together seven virtuosos musicians forged in musical sanctuaries like La Casa de la Trova and El Patio de los Dos Abuelos, and has in its lineup three vocal soloists, Rubén Matos (also guitar and bass), Inocencio Heredia and Ismael Borges, and Alberto Castellanos on drums, Adolfo Aguilera on bass and Edy Lobaina on trumpet, alongside the already mentioned Dewar.

 

A real “dream team” of Cuban son, who have five albums under their belts and now present a new production, published by Picap.  Recorded between the legendary studios Siboney in Santiago de Cuba (where Compay Segundo made his first recordings) and Axis Studio in Madrid, and mastered in the study 44.1 of Aiguaviva (Girona-Catalonia) by Toni París. "Oye mi son santiaguero" is the title of this new album by Septeto Santiaguero with the rhythms of guaracha, bolero, son and changüí, which includes 11 new tracks, one of them, "Cuestiones de amor" by the famous Cuban sonero Adalberto Álvarez.
