Description: Los Reyes 73 Reyes 73 LP 1975 Cuban Import Areito Miguel Ángel Rasalps (El Lele) Very Rare Archival sleeve Singer El Lele left Los Van Van and turned this band into a monster The Reyes began on the Radio program “Fiesta en el Aire,” in 1962. Their first director was Santiago Reyes (drummer). The arrangements were made by the pianist Nacho Herrera. The group started as a combo. In 1970, José Valladares began to sing, which makes fashionable “Ni la casa, ni yo”. It also broadcasts the themes: “You see, this is life”, “The girl on 13th street”, “We are walking”, and “The guest”. The arrival of Lele that causes loss of Los Van Van in 1972 and enters Los Reyes, the following year, motivates that they change the name for ‘Los Reyes 73’. At that time directs Mario Valdés, bassist. It is a golden period of the orchestra. Undoubtedly what was done by Los Reyes 73, in that stage of Lele that extends until 1978, deserves to be heard again and to recognize the place they really occupied in popular dance music With its emblematic singers Ricardo Eddy Martínez and Miguel Ángel Rasalps (El Lele) that, it is a brilliant stage of Los Reyes. Lele worked well, melted the rock with the rumba, in a kind of “fantasy” rumbera. He was an artist with a lot of charisma. They imposed great themes such as: “Dance that dances” (Mañe Mañengo), “Without freedom there is no arrangement”, “The cakes”, “To the party of the chocolates do not go candy”, “Great friends”; and “Cyril and Clara”, another of his greatest hits.Here you can see one of the innovative themes of ‘Reyes 73’, for that time, entitled “Baila que Baila”, by Ovidio Guerra, which was later covered by José Alberto “El Canario” with ‘La Típica 73’, in New York. In my opinion, the original version of the ‘Reyes 73’ is superior.Among the orchestras that stepped onto the Cuban stages with great strength and popularity during those years, is Los Reyes 73 Reyes 73. A work published on the Last.FM site gives us several details about the history of said group, which was founded in 1962. by drummer Santiago Reyes and pianist Ignacio “Nacho” Herrera in the arrangements. His first appearance—as Los Reyes—happened on the radio show Fiesta en el aire. By '69, the lineup was already working at the service of the ICR. Miguel Ángel Rasalps, El Lele. This event led the musician to separate from Formell and Los Van Van to join Los Reyes in 1973. Lele's vocal collaboration with Gilberto “Pachy” García, who had a rock past in bands like Los Hanks and Messengers, plus the mixture of different sounds of foreign music, allowed the group, already renamed Los Reyes 73 Reyes 73 , create a quite original style and win over the Cuban public almost immediately.With hits such as Baila que baila (Mañe Mañengo), Los pastels, A la fiesta de los bonbonones no va los candy, among others, from now on several tours, carnivals, festivals and concerts would come for Los Reyes 73 Reyes 73 as a stage. existed within the Island. They were also in the recording of a memorable audiovisual show with Los Van Van and the Ritmo Oriental orchestra, and in a documentary to which they contributed their song Me tired of speaking. Finally, in 1975 they recorded their first full-length album (LP), Reyes 73, for the Areíto company. The album consisted of ten songs, composed by Lele himself, Pachy, Mario Valdés (bass) and Ovidio Guerra (trumpet). On side A I had the numbers Great friends, You see you will stay, I need someone like you, Yes, spring has arrived and Adeoey; while on side B they could be heard Think that you have not changed, A love ended, A lament made into a song, If it will get there and Dance that dance my son.They say on the Last.FM website that the first two printings of that LP sold out almost immediately. As if that were not enough, the band known as Típica 73, based in New York, recorded several versions of those songs. Later, in 1978 they recorded a new LP, where a decalogue of songs appeared consisting of Your love like a cake, I crave you, babe, Mucho corazón, I don't understand your love, Theme for a lady, You are the same to me, Love is like the air, Picolino Walker, Little Disappointment, Santiago Has a New Wave, I've Been Without You Again and Cirilo and Clara to Villaclara. That time, in addition to Lele, Mario Valdés and Ovidio Guerra, the phonogram featured creations by Liberto Sierra, Enma Elena Valdelamar, Héctor Mon Padrón and Danilo González.
