This musical group is an example of versatility and authenticity in the representation of Cuban musical diversity.
“Working and create, that’s what we lose sleep. I think that we only end with the death. You can see that every Cuban will move his foot when he hears a Cuban conga”. – Geovani del Pino, Director

La voz de la extraordinaria e inolvidable cantante folklórica Merceditas Valdés, secundada por los tambores del conjunto Yoruba Andabo,
El CD “Miguel Barnet: 50 años de Cimarrón”, grabado en los estudios Areíto de la Empresa de Grabaciones y Ediciones Musicales (EGREM), fue presentado recientemente en el espacio Dialogar Dialogar de la Asociación Hermanos Saíz (AHS) en el habanero Pabellón Cuba.
El disco, idea original de la periodista y promotora cultural Ana Llerena, recoge pasajes de la novela testimonio “Biografía de un Cimarrón” en la voz de su autor y establece un valioso contrapunto con la música seleccionada.
La voz de la extraordinaria e inolvidable cantante folklórica Merceditas Valdés, secundada por los tambores del conjunto Yoruba Andabo, fragmentos de “Cantos Yoruba de Cuba”, de Héctor Angulo, interpretados a guitarra por el boliviano Pirai Vacca y “Espirituales Cubanos”, conforman la placa producida por el discógrafo Jorge Rodríguez.
