One of my favourite Cuban singers is Monguito ‘El Unico’.
The first time I heard him must have been through ‘Sabrosura’
with Johnny Pacheco from 1980 on Fania. From that moment
on I bought every album I found. A great discovery also was
when I heard him on Arsenio Rodriguez’ album ‘Primitivo’.
Monguito’s nasal voice is indeed unique .. listen ..

Eén van m’n favoriete Cubaanse zangers is Monguito ‘El Unico’.
Ik moet hem voor het eerst gehoord hebben op ‘Sabrosura’,
met Johhny Pacheco op Fania uit 1980. Vanaf dat moment ben
ik alles gaan kopen wat ik maar van hem tegenkwam. Een ont-
dekking was ook toen hem hoorde op Arsenio Rodriguez’ album
‘Primitivo’. Monguito’s nasale stemgeluid is met recht uniek ..

Compas direct was initially created by Nemours
Jean-Baptiste. Later there was a dispute with his
former band mate Webert Sicot about it. The two
rivals took lyrical jabs at each other through their
songs and at one point fought it out in a soccer
match between their bands. It ended in a 1-1 tie.
