Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rey Ruiz was born Reinaldo Ruiz in Havana, Cuba. He started singing with Orquesta Aragón in the 1980s, then went solo in 1989. His voice had a clear, romantic quality that worked well in salsa, and he could dance while he sang.
One of his best-known songs is the ballad "Amiga Mía," which showed his softer side. He recorded several albums including Dicen Que Soy and No Me Arranquen La Vida.
He sometimes spoke about politics, which created some tension. But his music kept reaching people who liked his mix of rhythm and sentiment.
