Details:
Led by musician and arranger Edgardo Delgado (guitarist), with Myrna Fuentes (vocals), Israel Santana (cuatrista), José Raúl Cruz (flute), Juan Ortiz and Jose Luis Santana (percussion). Since its founding in 1985, the group performs at festivals, concerts and various social and cultural activities in Puerto Rico.

âTaller Criolloâ starts this year with a new album under the name "Cuando se quiere Cantar (When you want to sing"). In this, as in the previous production âTwo songs for Viequesâ, the Puerto Rican songwriter and singer, Flora Santiago, is our special guest collaborator. Flora returned to recording, at the request of the public, two of its major successes âLa Ley de Gravedad (The law of gravity)â and âAndando Sola (Walking Alone)â, impeccably performed with the unique sound of âTaller Criolloâ. Myrna Fuentes, singer of âTallerâ, masterfully interprets âOración al Cieloâ (Prayer to the sky), of Antonio Caban Vale and âNo te vayas mulatoâ (Do not go mulatto), of the immortal Rafael Hernandez, among others.

Edgardo Delgado was again in charge of the arrangements and musical direction of this production and interprets the song âCuando se quiere cantarâ (When you want to sing) from the poet and composer Mario Enrique Velazquez. Further enrich this production two excellent singers: Juan Rodriguez, who sings the beautiful bolero âTe fuiste a Volarâ (You went to fly) by Mariano Rodriguez, and Jorge Rodriguez who sings âNavidad es compartirâ (Christmas is to share) of his own inspiration. Jorge Rodriguez is also the author of the âaguinaldoâ âEso es Puerto Ricoâ (This is Puerto Rico), who open the production in the exquisite voice of Myrna Fuentes.

In addition to the musicians of "Taller Criolloâ, joins this fabulous group: in flute Nitza Gonzalez, Mariano Rodriguez on trumpet, the outstanding âcuatristasâ Luis Vazquez and Charlie "the Guayubin" Rodriguez, and percussionists Ismael Del Valle and Arnaldo Rivera. Finally, in âCuando se quiere cantarâ (When you want to sing) and âTe fuiste a volarâ (You went to fly) the violin was interpreted by Ileana Diaz, Amanda Rivera and Alfredo Luna in viola.

âCuando se quiere Cantarâ is, undoubtedly, a remarkable contribution of Edgardo Delgado and his "Taller Criollo" for the Puerto Rican national music.
