If you don’t know how good he is read on...
Cándido Fabré is considered one of Cuba’s greatest singers and composers. His gift for improvisation allows him to create a son from any given situation or expression. Cándido Fabré was the songwriter, arranger and main vocalist with the great Orquesta Original de Manzanillo before forming Cándido Fabré y su Banda in 1993. His 14 strong band features some of the very best Cuban charanga musicians. One of Latin America’s foremost songwriters, Cándido has written over 1,000 songs which have been performed by artists such as Orquesta Aragón, Los Van Van, Manguara, Isaac Delgado, Ritmo Oriental and Los Karachi.
On the international scene, his songs have been performed by Celia Cruz, Oscar D’León and Jose Alberto El Canario. Cándido and his band have toured all over the world and shared the stage with some of the finest exponents of Latin music including Grupo Niche, Cuco Valoy, Wilfrido Vargas, Oscar D’León and many more. Cándido Fabré y su Banda have been heavily in demand in Europe for over 4 years and were one of the first ever Cuban bands to perform at major venues over the last decade. During their three European tours they have played over 80 concerts in Britain, France, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Ireland and Spain.
