November 26, 2021

The song was created by his youngest son, Brayan Álvarez Perodi, who was officially presented to the media as director and heir of the orchestra.

The piece is part of the last production during the lifetime of the author of "A Bayamo en Coche" and was produced musically under the title "Segunda vuelta". It is expected to be released in the first months and be presented to Cubadisco 2022.

The audiovisual, under the direction of Mayra María García, delivers to the viewer images of an optimistic and grateful orchestra for maintaining the legacy of one of the greats of Cuban music and culture. Also joined are other moving and testimonial images of the master sonero in full recording at the Abdala studios, which capture the essential traits of his personality.

Edith Massola, actress, presenter and director of the popular television program 23 y M, was in charge of the presentation. She asserted that the harmony created by Adalberto always distinguished him in his life, in the family, human and musical environment, just as his work. For this reason, it is so important to perpetuate his legacy, she added.

For Mayra, sharing with that immense artist was a privilege not only for her, but for the record label she represents, which houses more than 25 of his phonographic productions. She explained that Adalberto himself managed to finish the recording of his last album weeks before his death on September 1st, and that he greatly enjoyed preparing Brayan for what today is a reality. She added that for Bis Music it was an honor to accompany Adalberto and that it continues to be essential to give continuity to that work in this new stage.

Brayan thanked all those present for the collaboration they offered him and assured that he would have preferred not to be sitting in the position he finds himself, but given the circumstances of life that have placed him there, he has the musical and human commitment to maintain the legacy of his mentor.

This moving presentation was attended by relatives of Adalberto Álvarez, friends such as maestro Frank Fernández, Javier Sotomayor "the Prince of Heights", directors of orchestras with high attendance in Cuba, colleagues and admirers of the sonero such as Elito Revé, Samuel Formell, Lázaro Álvarez, Lazarito Valdés, Rafael Lay Jr. and César Pupy Pedroso, among others. As well as executives from Artex, Musicalia Agencies, Clave Cubana and Bis Music.

The clip "Pasado, presente, futuro" premiered for the public on digital platforms, the BisMusicOfficial Youtube channel and the Clave and Cubavisión channels of Cuban television on November 22nd, Adalberto's 73rd birthday and Saint Cecilia's Day, patron saint of musicians.
