ULTRA PARTIAL BIO:

Cuba in 1948, Santos was invited to perform in the Cuban National Palace by the president in office, Carlos Prío Socarrás. This year also marked Santo's debut with the Sonora Matancera, where he served as vocalist. His first successful single was titled Bigote de Gato, based on an area of Havana named "Luyano", which was infamous for serving as the home for fortune tellers. Later that year Santos was arrested after becoming involved in a fight where he accidentally injured a woman after trying to defend himself. Santos was subsequently pardoned by Prío Socarrás, but he asked to remain in jail twelve additional days to spend the Christmas celebration with some of the inmates. While in prison he composed a single named El Preso and was asked to write Amnistía as part of a campaign to promote the well-being of inmates. This was followed by several successful productions with the Sonora Matancera. These included Dos gardenias and Pa' fricasé los pollos, which were based on Cuban music. Among several other contemporary records were: El juego de la vida, El 5 y 6, El Ajiaco, El niño majadero, Ramoncito campeón and El tíbiri tábara.

While in Cuba he composed the song "Sierra Maestra" (my note: obviously extremely hard to find!), which Fidel Castro adopted as the official hymn of the 26th of July Movement, which was always transmitted through "Radio Rebelde" (Rebel Radio) every morning. On March 10, 1952, Fulgencio Batista organized a successful coup d'état and took control of the island's government. Following this event Santos temporally abandoned Cuba as a safety measure to prevent any assassination attempts, and relocated to Tampa, Florida.

Return to Puerto Rico: He returned to the island later that year and began an international tour on 1953, among the countries visited were Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico. In 1954, he returned to Puerto Rico and performed in hotels located in San Juan before continuing his tour throughout America which extended from 1955 to 1956. The tour concluded with a presentation in New York and he his returned to Cuba. Later that year he visited Ecuador for the first time in his artistic career. Here he was contracted to perform in a theater named "Apolo", where he worked with a band named the "Costa Rica Swing Boys". During his third presentation Santos lost his voice without completing the scheduled show, he tried to explain the situation to the public but was unable to calm them down and a riot erupted. While in Ecuador he composed two successful singles, Cataplum pa' and Cautiverio. Late in 1956, Santos recorded with a Venezuelan record label named "Discomoda". In 1959, he briefly returned to Cuba and worked in Puerto Rico and New York before establishing a restaurant in Havana. In 1962, Santos abandoned the island after his restaurant was nationalized by the government, this was combined with other disagreements with Castro's administration. On July 22, 1972 he performed in the inauguration ceremony of El Balcon del Pueblo, a building owned by Radio Cristal, which was located at Guayaquil. In this activity he performed for two consecutive hours, working an additional hour due to public acclaim.

WEB REMARKS: FROM THE GREAT CRISTOBAL DIAZ AYALA WEB SITE:

Ha sido el artista puertorriqueño de renombre más extenso y prolongado en latinoamérica. Ni la liberación femenina pudo borrarlo del favor popular. Siguió llenando teatros y estadios en todo el Caribe.

Lo importante de su estilo es que lo mismo domina la canción romántica que la pimentosa música caribeña. Pasa sin solución de continuidad de la dulzura del bolero, a la picardía de la guaracha, pasando por el merengue haitiano, la ranchera mexicana y el pasillo colombiano. Lo mismo llena un sofisticado cabaret de México, un estadio en Panamá que una Plaza de Toros en Ecuador. Canta tan a gusto con un grupo de dos o tres músicos, como con una orquesta de 50 profesores.

Cuando no cante más, pasará al reducidísimo club de los artistas latinos que con el tiempo se afincan más en el favor popular y “cada día cantan mejor” como Carlos Gardel, Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, Benny Moré…

Lo anterior con algunas actualizaciones lo escribimos para una presentación de Daniel Santos en diciembre de 1989 en el Teatro de la Universidad de Puerto Rico. Daniel falleció en Ocala, Florida, el 27 de noviembre de 1992. Sus restos fueron trasladados a Puerto Rico y tras un inolvidable entierro, sus restos reposan en el Cementerio del Viejo San Juan. La discografía de Daniel Santos es una verdadera pesadilla. Aún éste intento de recoger sus creaciones relacionadas con Cuba, es sólo eso, un intento. Grabó muchísimo, en todas partes, en sellos importantes y en los más humildes.

Record Grading: Standard guidelines for grading records comes down to a subjective judgment that may vary from person to person. We grade records and LP covers visually AND (when possible) play-tested. We make every effort to give full disclosure (remember that the LP has at least 12 tracks and the grading may vary between each other)  and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Don't assume that our vinyl determination of "Very Good+" is the same as yours!

MM RECORDS: are shiny, with no visible defects. They might have some minor superficial (“Paper”) scuff but they should play without any noise. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must not be present; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

NM COVERS: have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind.
NM  PICTURES SLEEVES: should look as if they never housed a record. This is a great reason to remove your 45s from their picture sleeves and keep them separate. Just keeping the 45 inside the sleeve will cause damage than can reduce the grade of the sleeve.

VG++ (Excellent) RECORDS: Barely noticeable play wear and background noise. May have surface scuffs and/or superficial marks, which will be inaudible or indiscernible from the background, no scratches. Very nice, no flaws noted.
VG++ COVERS: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VG+ RECORDS:  may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable

.VG+ COVERS:  should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint Unless Tiny/Small (EG: Tiny DH).

VG+ PICTURE SLEEVES: might show some very light creasing where it is obvious that a record once resided (or still does reside). A VG+ picture sleeve might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the sleeve’s most vulnerable location.

VG RECORDS:  have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches  may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape, or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes   will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.

VG COVERS and PICTURE SLEEVES:  will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear  in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would  reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be  visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides,  though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or stamped  a price tag on it, too.

RECORDS GRADED VG OR BELOW WILL BE "SOLD AS IS"

(We Will Try To Grade Them As Accurately As Possible!)
