Rubén González was a Cuban pianist and one of the most influential figures in the world of Latin music. Born on May 26, 1919, in Santa Clara, Cuba, González began playing the piano at a young age and quickly developed a unique and virtuosic style that blended traditional Cuban rhythms with jazz influences. González rose to prominence as a member of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club, a group of veteran Cuban musicians who achieved worldwide fame in the late 1990s. His masterful piano playing was a key element of the group's sound, helping to revive interest in traditional Cuban music and bringing it to a global audience. Throughout his career, González collaborated with some of the biggest names in Latin music, including Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, and Compay Segundo. His solo albums, including "Introducing... Rubén González" and "Chanchullo," are considered classics of the genre.
