Chappottin Y Sus Estrellas

Chappottín y Sus Estrellas is a legendary Cuban conjunto band rooted in the golden era of son montuno and guaracha. Led by trumpeter Félix Chappottín (1909–1983), the group evolved from Arsenio Rodríguez’s iconic conjunto in the late 1940s, carrying forward the fiery brass-and-percussion sound that defined Afro-Cuban dance music. Known for raspy vocals, swinging trumpet lines, and rhythms that practically demand a dancefloor, they became staples of Havana’s vibrant music scene in the 1950s–60s. Their catalog, including classics like "Nereyda" and "Rumba en el Patio," blends sharp social commentary with irresistible grooves. While Chappottín himself passed away in 1983, reissues like *The Real Cuban Music* and *Perlas Cubanas* keep the band’s timeless energy alive, celebrating their role as architects of Cuba’s musical identity.
