@ruben_negron_: El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is a salsa band that was founded in 1962 by Rafael Ithier. The band is known for its horn-punctuated rhythms and vocal harmonies.  They've released many albums and won many awards, including golden albums, a "Calendario de Plata" in Mexico, and a "Golden Combo" in Colombia.
 Andy Montanez Becomes the Voice of El Gran Combo In the early to mid-60s, Pellín Rodriguez was the voice of El Gran Combo. Andy Montañez and Pellín had about equal billing in the band. Pellín sang the boleros and merengues, and both would split the guarachas. But since there were more guarachas in the albums than boleros and merengues combined, Andy ended up singing as many or slightly more songs as Pellín. However, due to his flashy and comedic personality, and his on-stage MC skills, Pellín was the voice of El Gran Combo. Through the 60’s Andy’s voice matured. It became stronger, and his technique improved, giving him even more songs to sing, including more boleros. By the early 70s, Andy had taken over as the voice of el Combo. He was singing all the boleros and his guarachas (son montunos known as “salsa“) were the most popular on the radio. #elgrandcombodepuertorico 🇵🇷 #originalsalsa #puertorico🇵🇷
