Pupy y Los Que Son Son- Tranquilo Que Yo Controlo

It was only a matter of time before I started to talk endlessly about Pupy's latest release, Tranquilo Que Yo Controlo. Despite Pepitos shock decision to stay whilst on tour, the much anticipated release went ahead. Click here for short samples from the album

WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MY REVIEW

In the meantime, I thought I'd leave you with a track from the new album Si Me Quieres Conocer. Pepito is still in the band at this point so enjoy it for 'old times sake'!!!

Quiz Time- And the answer is......

Been scratching your head? I'll be really kind and put you out of your misery....

WELCOME MICHEL PEREZ, direct from Tumbao Habana. He brings the image of the band up to date and adds a bit of spark to the group.

And this was how I first heard them live and fell in love. This love is bittersweet as there are currently no recordings to whet your appetites with but.....here's a few vids to make do in the meantime.

The first gives you a litttle hint as to what he's most famous for
