ECOS DE SIBONEY – The Heirs of Compay Segundo
The official successors to the world-famous Buena Vista Social Club musicians on August 19 at 8:00 pm in the Brunnenhof of the Munich Residenz
Máximo Francisco Repilado Muños, better known as Compay Segundo, was the world-famous musician from the Buena Vista Social Club and the composer of the globally renowned song “Chan Chan.” Even at the impressive age of 94, he could still be seen performing on major stages around the world.
For nearly 20 years, his grandsons Ernesto, Leonardo, and Alejandro Repilado have been honoring their grandfather through music. From Compay, they learned how to play traditional son in an authentic way. He himself wished for his “poetry set to music” – as he liked to call his compositions – to continue to be performed in keeping with his spirit. And so, Compay personally commissioned Ecos De Siboney to officially designate them as his successors. (This was even featured on a CD track on “Saludo Compay.”) This is how the group was formed, and it quickly became popular.
In Cuba, Ecos de Siboney have already won the “Premio Lucas” twice for their albums and have been nominated for the “Premio Cubadisco,” the Cuban Grammy, in the “Musica tradicional” category. Their video “Me dirás que sabroso” also received an award in the “Musica tradicional” category. The group keeps traditional son cubano alive and has also written successful hits with their own compositions, such as “Tengo un Son,” which are performed and played around the world. That was precisely the idea of their grandfather, Compay Segundo, from the very beginning! “Somos los herederos” (We are your heirs).
During their live performances, they play many of Compay Segundo's compositions, such as “Chan Chan,” “Las Flores de la Vida,” “El Camisón de Pepa,” “Orgullecida,” “Macusa,” and “La Guantanamera.” But, of course, they also perform their own repertoire.
