Dall'intervista a Ray Pérez su Descarga, tradotta sul nostro portale

His real name was Carlos Yanez, but he was called Calaven. He sang with such a rich feeling, they compared him to Miguelito Valdes, but it wasn’t like that, he was a natural singer. This is a kid that sold mangos in the street, he liked to sing, he was from the barrio. Originally he was from Barlovento.

So I met him in el 23, we saw each other on weekends because I worked in the Remington factory. He liked to sing, I liked to play piano. We met and hung out on Saturdays, went to nightclubs and played, he sang. We did it for the love of music, not for money. That’s how our friendship began.

He was a really warm black man, and very flashy. He didn’t have much formal education. When he hit it big, everyone was calling him, looking for him to sing here and there, he sang in the barrios, in the street, with any band that set up. After los Calvos, he sang with Federico.

He drank liquor, and liquor killed him. Even when the doctor forbade him from drinking, he couldn’t stop. I tried to tell him, look… he died on May 28, 2003.
