Celio González
Celio Adán González Ascencio (Camajuaní, Cuba, January 29, 1924-Mexico City, October 17, 2004). Outstanding Cuban singer, known in the musical environment as "The Satan of Cuba". His most prodigious era was with the Sonora Matancera.
Biography
His artistic beginnings were stimulated by his mother, since he was protected by the hereditary disease called phocomelia, which caused him to be born without two fingers and toes. As a child he helped his mother sell handicrafts.
He participated in the contest of the Supreme Court of Art held in Sancti Spíritus. He lived some time in Camagüey and there, with seventeen years of age, he worked in the orchestra of Joaquín Mendivel, as well as in Conjunto Camacho. He founded the National Trio. He moved to Havana where he was employed as a singer for the Los Jóvenes del Cayo de Alfonsín Quintana, Luis Santí and Conjunto Casino.
Its golden age began on May 23, 1956, with the Sonora Matancera, directed at the time by Rogelio Martínez. He was a singer of the orchestra in substitution of Bienvenido Granda and Laíto Sureda.
The first song he recorded was the bolero-rhythmic "Quemame los ojos", his first big hit, and then others like "Total", "Amor sin Esperanza", "And do not cheat me anymore", "Coconut Kiss"
In 1959, Fidel Castro ruled the island, when Celio returned from a tour, when he found himself with the unpleasant surprise that all his possessions had been confiscated, and when he saw himself in despair, he traveled to Mexico City with his wife Martha Torres and his sons Celio Lázaro and Linda Elisa. hired by the record company Orfeón, and set his residence in that country. In 1962 he returned to the Sonora Matancera and again signed for Seeco Records, staying until 1965. New hits were added: "Yo soy el Son Cubano", "Vámonos de Fiesta", "Nobleza", "Noche de Farra".
He acted in radio, television, theater, nightclubs and recorded several long-playing records. He excelled in the bolero, although he played almost all the rhythms. Among his most remembered recordings is the bolero by José Dolores Quiñones "Vendaval sin rumbo". He was known under the epithet "El flaco de oro". In Mexico, a book about his life and work was published. In 2003 he participated in a posthumous tribute to Celia Cruz. He died of a respiratory arrest. Before his death he managed to record an album of boleros in homage to José Antonio Méndez
