Pedro Aranzola

Cuban pianist and songwriter. Aranzola was born in Nueva Paz, Cuba in 1917. At that time the town had a few dusty streets and on Sundays, in front of the church, the bands armed the toilets. Among the young people who did not miss a single one of those functions was Pedro Aranzola. He had many nicknames, including a very unique one, 24, a number that summed up the number of his fingers, which he interpreted as a sign of good luck; however, in the family they said Carucho. Aranzola was a great pianist played with Chepín Chovén and then at the Casino de la Playa and the Riverside and finally at the Sinfónica Del Beny Among his creations are "El Paso De Encarnación", "Charlas del momento", "Los Problemas De Atilana", "Sin Clave y Bongó No Hay Son", popularized by the Aragón orchestra, and the sones "Sacando Palo", " Punteáme Bien El Tres.
