All Genres > Latin > Latin Pop > SAOCO: La Farandula

LA FARANDULA combines a unique sound of traditional Cuban rhythm, timba, rumba and Afro-Cuban (Orishas) sounds with Reggaeton and Cuban Montuno.


Leyder Chapman Bio

The events leading up to Leyder’s career as a band leader and producer are as interesting as unforeseen. Born in Holguín, Eastern Cuba, his life was dedicated to basketball and other sports since a very young age. It was during a trip to play in the Good Will Games in Australia that his life took an unexpected turn: he decided to stay in Los Angeles with the intent of becoming a professional basketball player.

Due to circumstances that he faced in the US, he found himself part of the Cuban art expression. He became a salsa aerobics instructor and a founder of a dance group called Estrellas Cubanas.

In time, he founded SAOCO, a band specializing in the fusion of Cuban rhythms into the popular reggaeton.

Leyder is the band’s director, producer, choreographer and lead singer.


Moises Bio

Born in Havana, Moises begain at the age of 15 his lifetime career of music with studying piano and guitar. He became part of “Fuera de Ley” performing in this rap band in well-known venues like “Café Cantante” and the touristic center “Marina Hemingway.”

He eventually joined SAOCO where currently he is a composer and arranger, producing computerized backgrounds and scores. It is in SAOCO that his lifetime of work has developed into a unique expression of Cuban music.

LA FARANDULA combines a unique sound of traditional Cuban rhythm, timba, rumba and Afro-Cuban (Orishas) sounds with Reggaeton and Cuban Montuno.
