"Yeyo y Cané"
Humberto Cané
10" inch vinyl LP RCA Victor Mexico 1955
Humberto Cané:
born, Matanzas, Cuba 1918.
died age 82, Los Angeles, Calif. 2000.

Multi-instrumentalist and band leader Humberto Cané organized one of the most highly regarded bands in the musical history of Mexico, specifically in the genres of Mambo and Cha Cha. In 1947 Cane's group backed Benny More in the recording of a now famous 10-inch LP at the outset of the popularization of Cha-Cha-Chá and Mambo. Previously recording with Conjunto Matamoros, it is thought that his collaborations with 'El Barbaro del Ritmo' had helped spawn his particular soneo style.
Humberto Cané was the son of Valentin Cané, the founder of the group Sonora Matancera.

Que bueno que sacaste ese disco del Conjunto Yeyo y Cané (Yeyo Estrada cantante y Humberto Cané bajista) , pues muchos confunde a Yeyo cantante cubano que hizo época en México con el pianista Yoyo ( Yoyo Casteleiro) que también tenia un conjunto y acompaño a grandes como Orlando Vallejo , Candita Batista......
Muy buen trabajo .
Felicidades .
Todos los meses doy un tour por su página y me sosprende lo que veo posteado.
