In the organizer's words:

ECOS DE SIBONEY - The heirs of Compay Segundo

The official successors of the world-famous Buena Vista Social Club musician!

Máximo Francisco Repilado Muños, better known as Compay Segundo, was the world-famous musician of the Buena Vista Social Club and composer of the world-famous song "Chan Chan". Even at the proud age of 94, he could still be seen on the world's great stages.

For almost 20 years, his grandchildren Ernesto, Leonardo and Alejandro Repilado have been paying musical tribute to their grandfather. They learned how to play the traditional son authentically from Compay. He himself wanted his "poetry set to music" - as he liked to call his compositions - to continue to be interpreted in his spirit. And so Compay personally commissioned Ecos De Siboney to officially designate them as his successors. (This was even published on a CD track on "Saludo Compay"). Thus the group was born and quickly became popular.

Ecos de Siboney have already received the "Premio Lucas" twice in Cuba for their albums and were nominated for the "Premio Cubadisco", the Cuban Grammy, in the "Musica tradicional" category. Their video "Me dirás que sabroso" was also awarded in the "Musica tradicional" category. The group keeps the traditional Son Cubano alive and has also written successful hits with its own compositions, such as "Tengo un Son", which are interpreted and played worldwide. This was their grandfather's idea from the very beginning - Compay Segundo! "Somos los herederos" (We are your heirs).

In their live performances, they play many of Compay Segundo's compositions, such as "Chan Chan", "Las Flores de la Vida", "El Camisón de Pepa", "Orgullecida", "Macusa" and "La Guantanamera". But of course they also present their own repertoire.
