ABOUT THE BAND:
Maykel Blanco, was born on January 21, 1981 in Havana, in a family that has nothing to do with music. But he liked listening different radio music programs and their parents were very good dancers; he enjoyed listening and humming popular songs. Since he was very little, he used to be involved in school cultural Activities, as well as in his neighbourhood and in different public places, where he sang, danced and imitated artist in fashion, sometimes with saucepans, boxes or anything that might be percussed.
At the age of 12, he began to study percussion at night school “Geraldo Guanche”, later on, at the conservatory “Amadeo Roldan”. When he was just 15 years old, he established his own group, and began to obtain great successes in the movement of amateur artist, receiving multiple awards.
At 18 years old, he formed his first orchestra: “Suprema Ley”, associated to the “Centro Provincial de la Música Rafael Somavilla” in the province of Matanzas. Just 2 years later as the orchestra was created, the record company (label) “Envidia Record” from Spain, included them in their catalog.
The young Maykel working very hard will produce over 10 CDs, and recording as a percussionist in more than 40 CDs and will compose a big part of the songs of the Jazz group “Havana Express”
In 2005 he assumed the musical direction of “Salsa Mayor”, devoting all his energy, creativity and his musical talent to it, will receive 5 nominations and an award as “The Best Art Direction.”
