performed by two of the Cuba and Congo legends of guitar and Tres: Papa Noel and Papi Oviedo
Wow, sonero! We shouldn't talk about son without mentioning the soneros, who gave the whole world their virtuosity and color, each one with his own flavor wanted to do it his way so that the son wouldn't lose its unmistakable expression. Miguel Cuní, Carlos Embale, Arsenio and Niní Martínez, Joseíto and Chapotín, Chano Pozo, Isaac Oviedo, and don't come telling me that they weren't the best because Chocolate was a master of tumbadores, because Chocolate was, listen carefully, a master of tumbadores. Huh? If Cuní isn't present, the son has no flavor. Carlos Embale sang it and put his heart into it. Sonero, come and listen to what I say in my song. Santa Claus and his guitar putting swing to the son. I am a natural singer in music, and now I'm going to take advantage and tell you a quatrain, the son for me is the law as you can clearly see, they call me Andrés Revé, mockingbird of Siboney. Now I want to sing to all those soneros, who gave the whole world its elegance and its flavor. I want to ask with pain that we all remember them, if after all they were the ones who invented the son. Gentlemen, I apologize, because I did not mention the one who was the glory, Bárbaro, Benny Moré and look how my beautiful chorus says it. Combination of soneros, listen well, you man. I am from the hot land, I am from the land of son. Arsenio and Niní Martínez, look at what a combination. Now listen to my mambo. Come and dance, good thing.
¡Vaya, sonero!
No se debe hablar del son, sin mencionar los soneros,
que dieron al mundo entero su virtuosismo y color,
cada cual con su sabor quiso hacerlo a su manera
para que el son no perdiera su inconfundible expresión.
Miguel Cuní, Carlos Embale, Arsenio y Niní Martínez,
Joseíto y Chapotín, Chano Pozo, Isaac Oviedo,
y no me vengas diciendo que no fueron los mejores
porque Chocolate fue maestro de tumbadores,
porque Chocolate fue, óyelo bien, maestro de tumbadores.
¿Eh?
Si Cuní no está presente el son no tiene sabor.
Carlos Embale lo cantaba y le puso el corazón.
Sonero, ven a escuchar lo que digo en mi canción.
Papa Noel y su guitarra poniéndole swing al son.
Traigo por naturaleza en la música cantar,
y ahora voy a aprovechar y les diré una cuarteta,
el son para mí es la ley como a la clara se ve,
me llaman Andrés Revé, sinsonte de Siboney.
Ahora les quiero cantar a todos esos soneros,
que dieron al mundo entero su elegancia y su sabor,
quiero pedir con dolor que a todos los recordemos,
si al fin y al cabo ellos fueron los que inventaron el son.
Señores, pido disculpas, porque yo no mencioné
aquel que fuera la gloria, Bárbaro, Benny Moré
y mira como dice mi coro bonito.
Combinación de soneros, óyelo bien tú varón.
Soy de la tierra caliente, soy de la tierra del son.
Arsenio y Niní Martínez, miren qué combinación.
Ahora escucha mi mambo. Ven a bailar, cosa buena.
