Pachito Alonso y sus Kini Kini

Pachito Alonso (* 6. January 1955 ) is Cuban salsa musicians .

He is the son of Pacho Alonso , in whose band Ibrahim Ferrer once sang. After the early death of his father in 1982 he took over his band. With numerous appearances, including at the Latin Music Awards in Los Angeles, he is celebrated in Cuba as the most famous and successful salsa musician. His sons Cristian Alonso Zequeira and Rey Alonso Guerra are among others singers of the band. José Luis Arango, an excellent singer, who impresses with his smoky voice, gives the whole orchestra a delightful Cuban charm.

As the last big event, the Kini Kini's were allowed to celebrate at the Viva Cuba show, which was particularly successful in Munich. Among other things, the daughter Yolena Alonso took over the artistic direction of the show as well as the producer role. She brought Cuba to Germany through her theater.
