Pedro Calvo
Pedro Calvo is a popular Cuban singer sometimes affectionately nicknamed ''Pedrito'', meaning "little Pedro". He is most famous for his time with Los Van Van, one of Cuba’s premier dance bands, which he joined in 1974. During the late 1990s, Calvo formed part of the infamous lead singing trio of Los Van Van along with Mayito Rivera and Roberto Hernández. These three singers alternated singing the lead and backing parts on Los Van Van tracks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://worldmusiccentral.org/artists/artist_page.php?id=787 )〕 Some of the more notable tracks that Calvo sang the lead part on during this period are ''El Negro Está Cocinando'', ''Mi Chocolate'' and ''La Fruta''. Calvo was also the lead singer on ''Que le den Candela'' and ''Sandunguera'', two famous Los Van Van tracks from an earlier period. While Calvo is an accomplished and competent singer, it could be claimed that he did not have the technical ability and voice quality of his fellow Los Van Van singers, Mayito Rivera and Roberto Hernandez. Rather, Calvo’s appeal seems to be his charismatic personality and unique singing style which often included clever word play and expressive rhythmic vocal sounds. Calvo's trademark look is a thick black moustache and wide-brimmed white hat. In 2001, Calvo left Los Van Van to pursue his own musical career.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.timba.com/artists/6=787 )〕 At the time many people speculated that his departure was due to personality clashes between him and other members of the band. Calvo has since formed his own band called Pedro Calvo y La Justicia. So far the band has released three albums which have mostly been made up of remakes of some of the famous songs which Calvo sang with Los Van Van. These albums have received a mixed response from critics and have not received the same acclaim and popularity that the new albums of Los Van Van and Cesar Pedroso (another former Los Van Van musician) have had during this period. ==References==
