About Kesselhaus Berlin

Elito Reve Y Su Charangon

The Elito Revé Orchestra, known as “el Charangón”, was founded in 1956 by Elito Revé Matos, a major figure in Cuban music. This band has been considered one of the most prestigious in Cuba and other parts of the world for many years. The orchestra from Guantanamo was also known as "LA ORQUESTA DEL CHANGÜI". Elito Reve Y Su Charangon will play on Sunday, April 02, 2023 in Berlin at Kulturbrauerei's Kesselhaus! At 7 p.m. the DJs Fismo and El Puma will be playing.

The 15-piece group was formed in 1956 by Elio Revé, a brilliant musician from Guantánamo who died in 1997. Guantánamo is a city in the far east of the island. Here in this remote part of Cuba, the African origins of the slaves blend not only with Spanish tradition, but also with the French roots of nearby Haiti. A unique blend that musically leads to Changüi, a forerunner of Son.

The band was taken over by his son Elito, who inherited both his father's gruff voice and amazing ear for talent. Elito graduated from music schools, but also owes much of his musical education to his father. He began as a pianist for the charangón at the age of 20 and has also worked as an arranger for many of the band's hits.
