CD 1 - Chekere son

Featuring Mayra Caridad Valdés

“Chekere Son was the first Cuban track I used to play as a DJ back in the ‘80s — the milestone version recorded by Irakere, whose pianist is of course the great Chucho Valdés. So it gave me great pleasure to invite Chucho’s sister Mayra to step up to the mic once again to bring us a feminine and quite powerful new female twist on the vocal.”
