Moisés Valle, better known by his stage name Yumurí, the maestro Elio Revé, is a charismatic Cuban sonero and bandleader. A descendant of a well-trained Havana family, he possesses an unmistakable vocal range, and his improvisations are distinguished by a distinctly Cuban quality.

He began his professional career in 1987 and a year later became a vocalist for the popular Revé Orchestra, where he served as the lead singer for four years. Later, as a means of expanding his artistic and musical career, Yumurí decided to form his own orchestra with three of his four musician brothers. Since then, the orchestra, christened Yumurí y sus Hermanos, has held many top spots on the Cuban radio and television Hit Parade.

Yumurí’s discography includes productions such as Cocodrilo de agua salá (1993), Provocación (1996), Olvídame si puedes (1999), Bilongo (2002), and Salsa y Candela (2004). With this latest album, he earned a nomination for the 2005 Cubadisco Award in the Current Popular Dance Music category.

Moisés Valle, along with his group, has performed with great success in various countries, including Japan, Europe, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Jamaica, and others. He has also shared the stage with figures such as Oscar de León, Tito Puente and his Orchestra, Compay Segundo, and internationally renowned groups such as the Japanese Light Orchestra.

He released his first salsa DVD in Cuba in 2005, titled Yumurí Live, on the Cuban label Bis Music. In the summer of 2008, Moisés Valle’s orchestra embarked on a national tour from East to West, which became a major event, with 18 concerts running continuously throughout Cuba, attracting hundreds of thousands of people of all ages in various venues across the country.

In 2009, he released a new dance music production called “Cubano Cubano,” and the song “Pegaito a la tarima” immediately became a hit in the media, quickly capturing the attention of all dancers.

Yumurí, in his work as a composer, should highlight that his musical works have been recorded by international figures and orchestras such as Oscar D’León, Willie Rosario, and Los Hermanos Moreno.

Also known as the Cuban Sonero, Yumurí possesses a natural musicality, creating musical arrangements, composing most of the songs in his orchestra’s repertoire, dancing and entertaining the audience on stage, and improvising like a true Cuban sonero. He is a musician whose work is tireless, rigorous, and professional in every sense of the word.
