We are pleased to have got here, knowing that our work is being recognized so positively by many people.

Revi: What inspired you to join the orchestra?
The Soft: Soft Tumbao began his career on April 7, 2009. I come from Candido Fabre Orchestra where he remained for 13 years as pianist and arranger, this was one of my sources of inspiration, in addition to my admiration for the music of Los Van Van who have heard so much, even once shared the stage with them in Havana and played the piano with Robert "Cucurucho."

Revi: And in 2009 you released your own project, as it was ..
The Suave: Upon returning from a European tour with Candido Fabre decided to leave and take their own path in music. I began to make arrangements, dreaming of making my own. I had no musicians. A friend named Luis contacted several of them and gave them my repertoire and my arrangements, when I heard them live really inspired me to follow my own course. The first public performance of Soft Tumbao, without being professional yet was in the Carnival of Bayamo in 2006, even in the presence of a padlock.
