Exponent, at the same time, of the most traditional and innovative Cuban music, Kelvis is master at making coexist traditional rhythms like son, sucu sucu, cha cha cha, songo, conga, merengue, milonga, among others, also influenced by funk, rock and pop.
To his envelopes melodies and passionate and funny lyrical texts, is added his surprising know-how when it comes to take the improvisation. Former member of the group Habana Abierta, with whom he recorded three albums, he has two solo records ("Kelvis" and "Dolor con amor se cura") and one a duet with the famous composer Descemer Bueno: "Amor y Música".
