The son of one of Cuba's most prominent soneros of all times delivers his second production as a leader. After showcasing his talents for years with the popular flutist/bandleader Maraca, Charanga Rubalcaba, and more recently with the Afro Cuban All Stars, Valoy Jr. embarked on e solo career continuing the family tradition. This recording displays Valoy Jr. as a bonafide interpreter of authentic Cuban music as well as a sonero in the true meaning of the word. An attractive repertoire of original compositions and other Cuban favorites of the past and the present bring to light the talent and essence of Valoy Jr. Through selections like the title track, plus Canto Para El, and Mi Son Tiene Lo Qua Tenía Que Tener, among others, Valoy Jr. and friends exceed over their peers at home as they interpret the Cuban son and traditional tropical dance music. Bassist Raul Guará heads the musical direction and arrangements for the recording with additional vocals supplied by William Valdez and Yoandy Valdez. Excellent solo work by pianist Emilio Aranzola and tres player Felix Martínez abounds. Featured on background vocals are Ciso Guanche, José Lussón Jr. and Gregorio Laza. (RM) Cd 2004
