Valdés, Vicentico
Vicentico Valdés was born on December 10, 1919 in Havana, and died on June 26, 1995 in New York. His career began as a singer of "El Nacional". Later on, he became a member of "El Sexteto Jabón Candado" and "La Orquesta de Cheo Belén Puig y Cosmopolita". In the 40's he integrated the sextet of "Los Leones" in Cuba and he also recorded with "El Conjunto Tropical de Humberto Cané" in México. Upon moving to New York he sang at the Hispanic Theater, the Million Dollar, the Park Plaza, the Palladium, and Puerto Rico. Moreover, he joined the orchestras of famous artists such as Noro Morales, Tito Puente, and Bobby Valentine multiple times. Vicentico also recorded in Havana with "La Sonora Matancera" and years later he formed his own orchestra, which was directed by different artists until he finally decided to sing a solo and spread his music throughout different nations of Europe and Latin America. He was known as one of the best "Bolero" singers from all times, which earned him the popular title of "La voz romántica de Cuba" and "La voz elástica de Cuba".
