'Cero Ferandulero' reveals the talent of Los Jubilados - eight veterans of Cuban son and a precocious young trumpeter - who have, with their first CD, reached out to a huge audience of different ages and musical tastes, both in Mexico and in Cuba. Los Jubilados were formed by two legendary singers from Santiago de Cuba: Mario Carcassés and Juan Gualberto , 'Bebeto' Ferrer, who decided to come out of retirement and return to their art. They brought together veteran musicians from different bands as well as the virtuoso trumpeter who first played professionally with Bebeto at the age of 13.Since their formation in 1994 they have won, several times over, Best Sonero Band of Santiago de Cuba, and were recently awarded the prestigious 'Premio Especial', Cubadisco '99. The line-up presents the style of the Cuban sonero septets although in this case there are three lead vocalists who bring the total to nine musicians. What is special about this CD is the apparent ease with which the old musicians play the son and bolero, offering a calm intensity and a quiet passion that is difficult for younger bands to capture. Jubilados de las legendarias orquestas de Santiago de Cuba, pero no retirados de la música, esta agrupación de ocho veteranos y un joven trompetista, regresa al escenario con un repertorio de joyas olvidadas y un tremendo swing que es la envidia de jóvenes soneros. Este, su primer CD, ha tenido un gran éxito en Cuba, donde ganó el prestigiado premio 'Cubadisco 99', y en México donde realizaron una extensa gira por diferentes plazas del país, cautivando tanto a un público joven como adulto.
