Like Benny Moré, his voice caresses, like Barbarito Diez he is refined, exquisite. Like his friend Elena Burke he believes that the voice is everything. Unlike any other Cuban soloist, Armando Garzón has a perfectly trained counter-tenor voice which he uses to interpret the indestructible love songs of Latin America, the boleros that, like Garzón himself, were born in Santiago, musical capital of Cuba.

Boleros his debut CD, received major critical acclaim and opened the way for the emergence of a great Cuban star.

For Danzón, his second CD, Armando Garzón surprised everyone in Santiago de Cuba by joining forces with one of the port's hottest son bands, Los Guanches, to record a repertoire of the old boleros, arranged to the danzón rhythm but played on guitars, bongos, bass and güiro scraper, the instruments of Cuban country son. The result is proof of the enormous creativity and spirit of Cuban musicians.

His third CD, Escándalo, is an outstanding presentation of Cuban classics from the original trova to nueva canción. The arrangement are rooted in the 50's but with Armando's creative touch that makes them entirely contemporary.

Baptized by the Mexican press as 'The Black Angel with the Velvet Voice', Armando is considered to be the greatest solo singer in Santiago, both for classical as well as popular music because of his exceptional voice of a counter-tenor. He was 'discovered' by Pablo Milanés who made a record with him in the late 80s. Armando has toured Mexico seven times and also played in Europe.
