Paulito F.G. y su Elite


foto Hot Salsa, France "... Paulito exudes street cool. He's in his thirties but looks younger, and he has a raspy speaking voice that comes from performing up to seven nights a week and practicing with his band most days. "Cuban singers have throats of iron," he laughs huskily. "We work all the time. The musicians play, and play, and play."
A seductive stage presence and therefore a hughe hit with female fans, Paulito is Cuba's most popular singer, according to a public survey taken at the '97 Egrem awards, akin to the Billboards...."
thus wrote Judy Cantor in Miami New Times.

In 1991 Paulo Fernandez Gallo assumed leadership of Opus 13 and turned it into Paulito y su Elite, Cuba's best grooving band!
