The 12 track album depicts various life situations inside and outside of Cuba through the eyes of the Cuban singer-songwriter. In 2015, his second CD, called ¨Hay Gente Pa' To'....¨ was released. This is an album that has been enjoyed by a more diverse public.

The genuine lyrics and unique sound of the Cuban Tres in that album will enchant any language speaker and certainly make a music listener dance!
