Co-founded by Puerto Rico-born brothers Angel (bass) and José Lebron (piano), the LEBRON BROTHERS were initially known as Angel Lebron and his Orchestra in 1965. They changed their name to Lebron Brothers when they signed to the Cotique Records label.
The eldest, Pablo Lebron, sang Spanish lead vocals with the band until 1981 – when sadly, he suffered a stroke. CRIOLLO was the Lebron Brothers’ last outing for Cotique Records after a 15-year run with the label and spawned the immortal “Sin Negro No Hay Guaguancó,” co-penned by Angel Lebron and Aura M. de Velázquez. Other hits included “Diez Lágrimas,” another Angel Lebron gem with a subtle string orchestration, and “Esposa Y Querida.” Both numbers shift up a gear into the unremitting trademark Lebron groove. Other outstanding tracks include “Siempre Será,” a vintage Lebron groove composed by José, and Pablo’s notable rendition of the classic bolero “Sabor A Mi.”
