Mi Son Pilon

The famed Cuban bandleader Arsenio Rodriguez' former conga player Feliz "Chocolate" Alfonso formed Estrellas de Chocolate in 1959. Aside from Alfonso, the conjunto consisted of lead vocalists "Chino" Lesn Lahera Wilson and Aristides Valmaseda; Agustsn Cabrera, 2nd voice and guitar; Filiberto Hernandez Fuentes, 3rd voice; "El gorila" Albertini, trumpet and director; David Palomares, piano and co-director; Andres "Nio Rivera" Echevarria, tres and arranger; Sergio de Cuba, bass; "Pichi" on bongos; and in the early 60's they were joined by the great Papi Oviedo on electric tres guitar. The album "Mi Son Pilon," was recorded in the mid 1960's and features some of the hottest Afro-Cuban rhythms of the period. Fiery rumbas, guajiras, boleros, cha chas and more with beautiful trumpet and tres interplay makes this rare album a Cuban classic. All selections newly remastered.
