 This is one of the best Cuban son outfits around, all of its elements crisply directed at the dancefloor, but still making for good armchair listening.

Candido Fabre is one of the baddest soneros (singers) in Cuba today. It's been over five years since the release of his last album. In between he has continued performing and writing songs for Los Van Van, Yumuri, Issac Delgado and others. With a more raspy and hoarser voice, he delivers twelve tracks that will put you in a spin! While it may take some folks getting to used to his vocals now, he is still one of the most prolific commentators on life in Cuba and its view of the outside world.

He is the greatest sonero since Benny More. Candido has the phrasing and fire of a great salsa vocalist.. " Latin Beat - USA

"Candido is a first-class salsa singer, loved as much for his earthy charisma as his infectious dance music, - Jan Fairley ? Songlines - UK

Candido Fabre is one of Cuba's leading musicians and is considered one of the most versatile and ingenious soneros of Latin America. His improvisations have helped to build his reputation as an artist of great charisma and authenticity. He is also a prolific songwriter and his work has been performed in Cuba by Orquestra Aragon, Los Van Van, Manguare, Isaac Delgado, Celia Cruz and Oscar D'Leon.

Candido has the phrasing and fire of a great salsa vocalist. His back up group features the flute and violin line-up of classic charanga, and the members of his group swing with elegance through some excellent arrangements in the finest tradition of charangas playing son.

 Charanga is a term given to traditional ensembles of Cuban dance music. They made Cuban dance music popular in the 1940s and their music consisted of heavily son-influenced material, performed on European instruments such as violin and flute by a Charanga orchestra. (Aviva 2004, p.199). The style of music that is most associated with a Charanga is termed 'Danzon', and is an amalgam of both European classical music and African rhythms.

  

 La Orquesta Original de Manzanillo fue fundada en diciembre de 1963 por el flautista Eduardo Aguirre, posteriormente sustituido por otro fundador, el pianista, compositor y orquestador Wilfredo “Pachi” Naranjo, quien se ha mantenido al frente de la misma hasta la actualidad.

Luego de un período inicial de búsqueda, lograron comenzar a colocar toda una serie de éxitos con los que consolidan su popularidad a principios de la década del setenta, manteniéndose desde entonces en la preferencia del público que la reconoce como toda una institución de nuestra música bailable.

En el año 1983 se produce el ingreso de Cándido Fabré a la agrupación, manteniéndose en la misma por espacio de una década, en la que aportó una gran cantidad de éxitos como compositor, marcados con el sello inconfundible de su voz y su insuperable capacidad de improvisación.

El presente álbum doble recoge precisamente veinte de los hits que sobresalieron a lo largo de las siete producciones discográficas realizadas mientras duró esta acertada unión, que será recordada por mucho tiempo como los “años de oro” de Cándido Fabré y La Original. 

  

Cándido Fabré was the songwriter, arranger and main vocalist with Orquesta Original de Manzanillo from 1983 to 1993. In 1993 he formed his new, 15-piece band featuring some of the very best Cuban musicians. The lineup, similar to his previous orchestra, includes three violins, keyboards, flutes, tres, piano, congas and other percussion instruments.

 

Fabré’s songs have been performed in Cuba by Orquesta Aragón, Los Van Van, Manguere, Isaac Delgado, Ritmo Oriental and Los Karachi, and on the international scene by Celia Cruz, Oscar D'León, and Willy Chirino.

  

  

The Cándido Fabré Orchestra has toured extensively, visiting Mexico, Colombia, Canada and Venezuela. Following the band’s appearance at the International Caribbean Festival in Cartagena (Colombia), a prominent Cartagena newspaper described him as: "The most versatile Cuban sonero" and described his vocal improvisations as "the greatest since Beny Moré".

It is his charanga line up with three violins and flute which is now taking him to growing prominence on the international scene.
