Cuban sonero Candido Fabre first attracted attention in 1983 as the leader of the Cuban Orquesta Original de Manzanillo; after a decade with the group he formed his own band, proceeding to issue a series of solo recordings including 1998's Toda Cuba Baila Con... and 2000's Habana Quiere Guarachar Contigo. ~ Jason Ankeny
