Leoni Torres has charisma, a fantastic voice, talent and the tenacity to triumph as a solo act, which he is proving even if he is still known as "the Charanga singer". As a young singer and composer he left an important mark in the famous salsa band lead by Cuban musician David Calzado.
His first solo CD, Bajo la Piel (Under the Skin), has already become quite a hit. Seven of his songs from Bajo la Piel rapidly placed among the top of the hit parade on radio and TV in Cuba and other countries, significantly augmenting numbers of his La Charanga Habanera fans.
The CD reveals his interpretative versatility, great potential for pop and his taste for ballads. It also has thematic balance and displays unusual musical diversity with Torres′ openness to other composers, this time to Edgar Rodríguez, Osmani Collado and Polito Ibáñez.
