Roberto Faz

Roberto Faz was a consummate Cuban singer, whose voice and charisma established him as one of the most respected figures in the history of Cuban music. Born on September 18, 1914, in Regla, Havana, he began his career in the 1930s and gained acclaim as the lead singer for the Conjunto Casino, a popular music group of the time. Throughout his illustrious career, Roberto Faz was celebrated for his mastery of the son cubano genre, a style of music that combined Spanish guitar with African rhythms and became the heartbeat of Cuban cultural identity.

His zealous interpretations and unique vocal timbre earned him the affectionate title of "El Sonero de Cuba," a testament to his expertise in the son style. His influence extended through the golden era of Cuban music, and his recordings continued to resonate even after his passing on April 26, 1966. The albums "Centenario Roberto Faz: Sonero de Cuba, Vol.1 & Vol.2," as well as "Serie Homenaje: Roberto Faz, Vol.1," highlight the extensive repertoire and rich legacy of this music legend. Roberto Faz's work, including boleros as showcased in "Ultimos Boleros Que Canto Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 (Digitally Remastered)," captures the melodious and romantic essence of Cuban music, ensuring his everlasting presence in the pantheon of Latin music greats.
