EL CHINO DREADLION –
“VIVIR SIN TI”
Formerly of Yerba Buena with Cucu Diamantes, Xiomara Laugart et al, this Cuban dancer, choreographer and singer is finally releasing his solo debut album, No Hay Mal Que Por Bien No Venga. Based in Miami, where he also performs with the group Cubiche, el Chino’s music is a mix of Afro-Cuban elements, reggae, son, y…mucho mas chiquitico.
The album is out under The Art of Sound Group and his own El Chino Efori Music, and the record release pari is tomorrow, even though it won’t be available digitally yet (according to Chino, album had to drop on 9/9/9 “porque es una fecha especial, asere.”) Not everything is irie and beach life in El Chino Dreadlion’s musical universe, however. “Vivir Sin Ti” is a salsa song dipped in melancholy.
Upcoming Shows:
Sep 9 – Miami: Official CD release party at La Casa de Tula.
