“Francis del Rio is another quite well known artist from the new Cuba and I thought it would be right to share one of my favourites of his. Francis also features on the excellent tune ‘Ipacuba’ on CD 1.”
Francis del Rio is one of the pillars of the Cuban fusion scene. He’s a singer who dances, a poet who paints, and, in his own words, a dandy who dresses like “a clown”. He has worked with the biggest players in contemporary Cuban music including X Alfonso, Roberto Carcassés, Carlos Alberto Cartaya, Pavel Urquiza and Telmary Diaz and has been an integral part of INTERACTIVO, the landmark Cuban music collective.
