Authentic, soulful and rhythmically: Soneros de Verdad take their audience on a journey through the musical diversity of Cuba. They call themselves the second generation of the Buena Vista Social Club \u2013 and they do that for good reason. Legendary Pio Leyva was one of the founding members of the now six-piece band fronted by Luis Frank Arias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Musically \u2013 the \u201csinger of the truth\u201d go their own ways: On the one hand they remain faithful to the Son Cubano and play classics such as Chan Chan, on the other hand they also give many original compositions for the best. To make the mixture of old and new work Luis Frank Arias took another talented star of the Latin scene on board \u2013 Mayito Rivera. Rivera was for 20 years the face of the internationally successful band Los Van Van .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the band comes up with two exceptional singers: Luis Frank Arias , the master of Son Cubano, and Mayito Rivera with his outstanding timba vocals. Together with its elite band they enchant the audience with their energetic stage presence and dexterity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis music offers authenticity \u2013 it is what finally leaves us spill over to the origins of Cuban wave.\u201d
