The singer Abelardo Barroso Dargeles (Havana, 21 September 1905 27 September 1972) was the first sonero mayor (lead singer of the son) to be recognized as such by the Cuban public. He was the lead singer of the Sexteto Habanero from 1925, recorded with the Sexteto Boloña in 1926, and joined the Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Piñeiro in 1927. With each of these top bands he made a string of recordings in New York, and for the rest of his life his voice was in demand. In 19291930 he joined the stage variety group Salmerón, with whom he toured Spain. Returning to Cuba in 1931, he joined the Orquesta Ernesto Muñoz. In 1933 he founded the charanga LópezBarroso with Orestes López. He appeared alternately with this band and with the Sexteto Universo, and in 1935 founded the Sexteto Pinin. There followed spells with the bands of Andrés Laferté and Everado Ordaz before, in 1939, he joined the important charanga Maravillas del Siglo and performed on Radio COCO. During the 1940s he worked at the Caberet Sans-Souci until 1948, when he directed and sang for the National Police Band. Finally, set up his own band, Orquesta Sensación, another top-class charanga. They won the Disco de Oro for a recording of En Guantánamo and Arráncame la vida. With La Sensación he appeared in Miami in 1957 and in New York, 1959 and 1960. He retired in 1969.

  • Que verguenza que no entiendan lo que este gran hombre canta.

  • @atehmodus No entiendes lo que dice?? si esta bien claro:. Chapallodora, Patan ya no lloro,Una noche entera luna nos daba su luz tan bella, solamente las estrellas alumbraban mi fortuna, sin esperanza ninguna, a su sepulcro llegue. Una Dalia coloque enmedio del amor mio, esos son los restos frios de una mujer que adore

  • alguien podría escribir la letra de la canción en español. No puedo entender todo lo que canta.

  • No me pongan en lo oscuro A morir como un traidor Yo soy bueno y como bueno Moriré de cara al sol Guantanamera... Con los pobres de la tierra Quiero yo mi suerte echar El arroyo de la sierra Me complace más que el mar Guantanamera... Tiene el leopardo un amigo En su monte seco y pardo Yo tengo más que el leopardo Porque tengo un buen amigo
