Fernando Lavoy y Los Soneros - Cantan Fernando Lavoy (1994)

Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1950, talented sonero and composer Fernando Lavoy (nicknamed "El Montunero") arrived in the USA in 1980. That year he was introduced on Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros' Y Sigo Con Mi Son on SAR performing extended interpretations, arranged by Cuban pianist Alfredo Valdés Jr., of six songs associated with the Cuban bands Sonora Nacional and Conjunto Bolero, the original versions of which were all included on the collection Sones, Rumbas y Guaguancó issued by the Cuban state label Areito. He joined La Sonora Matancera in replacement of Carlos Manuel Díaz Alonso "Caíto" in 1990 and was unfortunately murdered in the mid-'90s in a case of mistaken identity…
