[paulostroff99]

TY bluesboy888. Awesome. Magician of the piano.

[madero111]

Is this Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez on bass in this piece. I really dig the way he " falls off logs" and etc.!

[madero111]

There's a film entitled "The Gristle"; there's some mambo type background music

played everytime the Latino guy enters a scene. Does anyone happen to know the title to the background mambo music in this film...... i really like the rhythm.

[CarlosEC007]

Gracias Rube!!!!

[madero111]

"Pura dinimita"

The bass player is layin' out a groove" that is ........!

[Mario17611]

Que en paz descanse, Ruben Gonzalez es y seras un tremendisimo pianista. Es una pena que no hayas podido salir del regimen de Fidel Castro. Muchos de los tuyos no pudieron darse a conocer como otros que si pudieron salir. Y todos hemos tenido la oportunidad de apreciar. Gracias a la tecnologia hoy puedo apreciar tu arte, que de otra forma hubiera sido imposible conocerte.

[domchas80]

couldn't agree more. took thr words right out of my mouth

[LISALOTT]

wow this is just pure talent,genius . Can you believe that these guys never see half the or riches that mainstream american artists command and they are so much more talented. El Maestro Gonzalez could play anything you hear classical and son montuno its just a miracle a gift given by God . There is nothing like this music it boils your blood.

viva Senor Gonzalez siempre and forever

[paulostroff99]

Can this be played this beautifully ever again. I very much doubt that it ever will.

[yoruba76]

[gabiernst]

Que en paz descanse Ruben!!!!

un maestro, un genio...

LATINO

besos a todos

[tialeetull]

........ of all the pianists i have heard, besides guaraldi and monk - ruben gonzalez has the most passion and presence in his style of playing.

i am so glad i got to collect many of his recordings. i am also very grateful that some of them are very high quality due to his late renaissance coming after BVSC.

what an amazing musician - simply astounding.

[migve13]

Tremendo!!! It's not about playing piano it is what you play. This tune touches every little corner of your body, the seven sins, victory, failure, happiness, sadness, joy, depression and what not! Somebody is saying Thelonious Monk, my friend i've heard a lot of music, but it is hard to find world class tunes like this one! and have you listened to the rythm section?Tremendo!!!

[Dobrib]

More than five stars performance.TY

[kfkkspeed]

brillient

[ubiratansousa]

Um dos melhores pianistas de tds os tempos. Grande Rubén. R.I.P.

[Utubestir]

love this man NICE CHOICE OF SONG AND GREAT CLIPS  thanks for posting!

[tialeetull]

[cubanitomio3]

maldito castros hasta cuando tu dictadura va a durar han acabado con el pueblo y su musica.cubanos levantemos todos es hora de luchar por la liberta de cuba.50 anos de dictadura.

[katimuri]

Que maravilla Ruben Gonzalez. Y que afortunados somos de que se le diera a conocer, aunque fuera solo en sus ultimos anhos de vida.

[zidmizar]

chevere ruben Gonzales algun tocare el piano como tu

[neto4346]

cual es el nombre de esta cancion??!

[salsadura07]

El nombre de la cancion es Tumbao

[pitiuoman]

Es mi dios musical, no puedo estar sin oirle cada dia. Gracias maestro por tu vida y tu recuerdo.

[albekey]

grande RUBEN GONZALES dios te tiene en su gloria maestro, unos de los buenos pianistas .

[JOMASAL60]

Viva Ruben !

[mees04101993]

he's one of the best latin pianists... did he learn all this by himself or had he a piano teacher??

[jmgaribello]

Monstruo,ese Ruben era sentimiento,arte,sensibilidad,­NOS TRANSPORTA AL INFINITO,GRACIAS

[robw1031]

this cats voicing and harmonies right up there with T Monk and O Peterson

[latino7630]

Cada vez al escuchar este senor tengo lagrimas prque el era un hombre unico.... tanto talento.. !!!!!!!!! Que descanse en paz Papiti 1 .... :)

[joancaro]

Puede haber grandes pianistas latinos., pero ningun virtuosismo se comparara y menos competira con en increible y unico enorme sentimiento que Ruben Gonzalez tenia para tocar cada nota. Definitivamente el mejor., Gran feeling.

[VitorVitoriaBaia]

@joancaro ni siempre los mas virtuosos tiene el verdadero sentimiento. Los supuestos amantes de música cubana solo hablan de pianistas que tocan 3000 notas en un compasso, pero nadie tiene este toque unico e mágico...timming perfecto. Ruben és enorme! En Danzon, Son, Cha Cha Cha, e en Bolero...sus acompanhamentos son incredibles!

[sidhartha673]

@VitorVitoriaBaia Tu lo has dicho de la forma mas clara posible, no siempre se reune el sentimiento del artista a la virtuosidad del musico y visceversa, Ruben Gonzales reunia los dos atributos en su maxima expresion, con el debido respeto a otros musicos......Ruben, grande entre los grandes!!!!

[joancaro]

!! Chanchulló -- yo quiero.., Chanculló ¡¡ que buena rola.

[sidhartha673]

Sencillamente un maestro, un genio.

Te amamos Ruben!!!

[williekeys30324]

Bravo Maestro!!

[mariankiwi]

τον αγαπω!!!!!

[ledesmacarlos]

[beeunamuxe]

[cliffpin]

i don't think i'm the only one who shivers after hearing this man do his magic on the piano. I wished i could see him do his thing live....your music lives on Don Ruben

[lennoxido]

demasiado feelin!

[musichall2009]

oooh que delicia escuchar ese piano es simplemente "inmortal"

[stellazammy]

[N0zix420]

RIP MAN LOVED YOUR MUSIC ALL MY LIFE!!

[robw1031]

I thought I would live the rest of my life and never hear anyone who could harmonize even close to Thelonious Monk......But, once again i am wrong this guy is fricken' amazing..

[69barajas]

Como decimos en Mexico: me pongo de pie y me quito el sombrero. Don Ruben Gonzalez, gracias por su talento.

[pattyayers]

I've been playing the piano all my life and I've just discovered Ruben Gonzalez. What a genius, what an artist.. such a combination of technical brilliance and passion.

[tialeetull]

There is a lot of his music available. Fortunately, when Buena Vista came out, his career had a second coming. Therefore, there are quite a few high quality recordings done before his death. I love him - Cuban T. Monk - fabulous jazz - incredible skill and finesse! Look to Amazon for his stuff!

[paulostroff99]

Ruben Rules!

[Ahmedpaul]

Every time I hear Ruben's playing I get tears in my eyes, such emotion and soul, such a gift to humanity. Thank you Ry, thank you Cuba, thank you BVSC and thank you Ruben, such a beautiful man.

[JUD97]

you took the words right out of my mouth!

[mequeripurolimitame]

Chanchulló !!!!!!!!

Idolo, maestro, gracias por esas notas de pasión...

[paulostroff99]

Ruben,you will live forever in our hearts and minds.You were the man!!(How again can this not be a 5*?)

[sengle1013]

[forestreborn]

Music of Ruben lives!

[Mamaita415]

Buenisimo, Esquisito, gracias por tus hermosos recuerdos Ruben Gonzalez.

[danzoneradigital]

Ruben Gonzalez, el pianista mas virtuoso y la persona mas sencilla.

Nos ha demostrado que lo fino no esta peleado con lo sabroso, tal como debe ser el danzón.

Lo extrañamos!!

[VitorVitoriaBaia]

THA GREATEST: Ruben Gonzalez we miss you
