Wilfredo José Chirino (Born in 1947 in Consolacion del Sur, Pinar del Rio, Cuba) is a well-known Cuban-born salsa singer, song-writer and producer who created the ?Miami Sound,? a style that is unique for its fusion of Cuban music, rock and Brazilian Caribbean rhythms.

As founder of the Willy Chirino Foundation, his philanthropic efforts have been recognized by UNICEF and the Department of State.
Willy celebrates his 35th Anniversary in music with his latest released album ?Willy Chirino Live-35th Anniversary? (?Willy Chirino En Vivo-35 Aniversario?), a CD/DVD combo of his 35th Anniversary Concert. This album brought him his first nomination at the 2007 Latin GRAMMY Awards for best Salsa Album. Most recently, Willy and singer/song writer, and wife Lissette, released their first ever duets album Amarraditos (Bound to One Another). The CD includes a potpourri of classic Spanish language love songs.

la verdad que el concierto no fue lo que se esperaba, willi no estuvo a la altura de lo que era antes no se si es que ya esta llegando el fin de su carrera, o es que no quiso atender debidamente a todos los cubanos que fueron a verlo aquí a Madrid, de todas forma espero que si viene otro día por Europa se porte mejor con sus fan.
