Cuban born vocalist and master of the tres, a traditional Cuban
style guitar, brings his finest latin jazz music to the North American
audiences this coming August 5th. The extraordinary new album, Cabrera’s third
full-length as Rey Cabrera y Sus Amigos, is entitled Controversia, and will be
released on both CD and digitally by Goldenlane Records, a subsidiary of
Cleopatra Records, Inc.
Born
1943 in the Oriente mountains that surround Santiago de Cuba, Cabrera inherited
his love and passion for música campesina, Cuba’s oldest and most traditional
music style, from both of his parents. His father taught him to play the tres,
and before too long the young Cabrera moved to Santiago de Cuba where he met
and performed with Eliades Ochoa, later of Buena Vista Social Club fame. From
there, Cabrera went on to his own international acclaim as one of the last
ambassadors of the Cuban musical style known as son cubano, a blend of Spanish
canción and African rhythms. Cabrera has performed everywhere from the Montreux
Jazz Festival, the North Sea Jazz in South Africa, the UK, and Belgium. Now
this seasoned veteran will bring his immense talent to US shores - so grab a
mojito and let Cabrera’s band transport you through the rich history of his
musical heritage!
