El Gordo (he's not really very "gordo") holds the honor of being the only backup singer to be chosen as part of Team Cuba. His voice was a key part of the trademark sound of Manolín's records, but when the rest of the band relocated to Miami, El Gordo declined to leave the world's great Latin music scene behind and remained in Havana, where he joined first Revé, and then Issac Delgado.
