Vicente Valdés Valdés (Havana, Cuba, December 10, 1919 - New York, United States; June 26, 1995) 1 was a Cuban singer.
Biography
Vicentico Valdés was the younger brother of the singer Alfredito Valdés, and he was a member of the Septeto Nacional by Ignacio Piñeiro. Also was member of the orchestra "Cosmopolita" that directed Antonio Maria Romeu.
He also worked with the Sonora Matancera, interpreting mainly guarachas and guaguancós such as I am not handsome (guaracha of Reineiro Martínez) and the bolero mambo Decide my love. One of his most representative themes at that time was his version of The Earrings of the Moon, original by José Dolores Quiñones, a theme that helped make it known to the public
New York
Based in New York, he met Noro Morales. This one integrated it to his orchestra and with him recorded subjects like Guararé of Ricardo Fabregas, and What problem of Rudy Castel.
In subsequent years, his repertoire focused on the interpretation of boleros, although he continued to sing other indigenous rhythms of his land like guajiras, sones or guarachas.
For the label Seeco recorded a number of themes, including boleros, guarachas and even cumbias. In the album, Así sings the heart, accompanied by his own orchestra and arranged and directed by René Hernández (pianist of the Machito orchestra for some time), included songs such as: Ya'ta el guateque (rhythm orizá), Negro de Society (afro motif), Cumbia that goes of round, (cumbia) Yuyumbé (guaracha) and several boleros like You my original adoration of Jose Antonio Méndez. Also, the album Algo de tí, contains the bolero of the same name, original of Juan P. Miranda, and other boleros as I am locode Javier Vásquez, I know your story of Mario de Jesús and Save me of Atilio Bruni.
With the orchestra of Tito Puente recorded New life, Giraldo Piloto and Alberto Vera, Guaguancó in Tropicana, by M. A. Espinoza, I am happy, The glory is you, and You my divine love these last two boleros of José Antonio Méndez.
His orchestra
In his maturity as a singer, Vicentico Valdés had his own orchestra and had musical arrangements by René Hernández, Joe Caín and Javier Vásquez. The orchestra was composed by Alfredo Armenteros, Víctor Paz, Jimmy Frisaura and Pat Russo in the trumpets; Jesus Caunedo and Al Tenenbaum as saxos alto; Shelly Gold as tenor sax; Dave Kurtzerm on the baritone sax; Frank Anderson as a pianist; Bobby Rodriguez on the bass; Mervin Gold on the trombone; Felix Ventura in the congas; Joe Rodriguez in the timbale and José Mangual in the bongo. In the choir were Chivirico Dávila and Felo Brito.
Vicentico Valdés died in New York on June 26, 1995.

Algo Hay En Tí
Vicentico Valdes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
algo tan atrayente,
que siempre está presente
en mi pensar.
Será tu mirar,
tus ojos o tu boca.
Serán todas tus cosas.
Algo hay en ti,
que me fascina,
que me domina
y hace que en ti tan solo piense
y me sienta emocionado
tan solo de verte.
Algo hay en ti,
algo tan diferente
que estoy enamorado
y ansioso de tenerte.
Algo hay en ti,
que me fascina,
que me domina
y hace que en ti tan solo piense
y me sienta emocionado
tan solo de verte.
Algo hay en ti,
algo tan diferente
que estoy enamorado
y ansioso de tenerte.
The lyrics to Vincentico Valdes's song "Algo Hay En Ti" express the intense attraction and infatuation that the singer has towards someone. They can't quite put their finger on what exactly it is that draws them to this person, but there is something so alluring about them that they are constantly on the singer's mind. They speculate that it might be their eyes, their mouth, or just everything about them. Whatever it is, this quality fascinates and dominates the singer, to the point where they can't help but feel emotional and excited just at the thought of seeing this person.
The language of the song is quite poetic and romantic, with multiple uses of repetition ("algo hay en ti" and "que me fascina, que me domina") emphasizing the intense hold that this person has on the singer. The music itself is also quite hypnotic, with a rhythmic Latin beat and sultry vocals that match the sensuality of the lyrics. Overall, the song conveys the depth of feeling that comes with intense attraction and the way that it can consume and overpower a person.

Como se extrañan estas letras, esta interpretación, esta la calidad de voz y ante todo la instrumentación y los acordes de la Sonora, que bueno que saliera un proyecto que retome y que le brinde a la humanidad una nueva oportunidad de gozar de música de calidad.
