Pupy El Buenagente (2005)

Pedroso was lid van Orquesta Revé en mede-oprichter van Los Van Van. In 2001 begon hij zijn eigen Pupy Y Los Que Son Son. Dit vierde groepsalbum is de Album Pick op Allmusic: "Ridiculous. Incredible. These are words that leap to the mind as it's searching for footing in the midst of the flowing stream of hyper-syncopated Cuban funk effortlessly played here. Sometimes age and experience affect musicians by cooling their blood. In other cases, it gives them the cool demeanor to do whatever the heck they want with flawless, unshakable confidence. The latter is the case with pianist Pedroso and his band of innovators. With the ability to both lay down swinging, tuneful grooves, and also create brain-bending, time-shifting vamps that are equal parts folklore and wave-of-the-future, los Que Son, Son truly sound like no other group performing today. Pupy's outfit has a dark, mature sound that is furious and serious. This may be the album that heralds a new era for timba, it's coming of age." (Evan C. Gutierrez)
