DANIEL DE LOS REYES ~ SAN RAFAEL 560  

The Cuban house on the cover of SAN RAFAEL 560 may be unfamiliar to most people but to the de los Reyes family, it is unforgettable. Tucked away in a close-knit community, it was the home of the family patriarch, Daniel's great-grandfather, Walfredo de los Reyes I. Together with his wife, Walfredo instilled a love of life and music in their five children that continues to flow in the veins of the Familia de los Reyes today.

Daniel de los Reyes, a third generation musician, has brought together his multitalented family and friends to create an album that traces his Latin roots. The loosely woven arrangements are designed to allow each musician the freedom of improvisational expression. Both romantic and infintely danceable, the Cuban rhythms and melodies from the 1940s and 50s have struck a cord in the hearts and souls of people all around the world for decades and it continues to affect and inspire those who hear its rhythms today.

As Daniel continues his family's musical tradition on SAN RAFAEL 560, you will find songs for every mood and for every dancer such as mambos, cha-chas, and romantic son montunos. From the first track to the last, SAN RAFAEL 560 will transport you on a musical journey back in time to the Cuba of the 1940s and 50s as Daniel de los Reyes connects both past and present generations.
