Review by Lickety-Split Locksmith

Album Review: Monsieur Chocolate – Prefiero El Son Released in 1981, Prefiero El Son by Monsieur Chocolate is a vibrant celebration of Latin music that effortlessly blends the infectious rhythms of Son with a touch of nostalgia. The album, released across multiple countries including the US, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, and Panama, showcases Chocolate’s ability to craft tunes that resonate deeply with listeners. Backed by labels like SAR Records, Daro Internacional, and Discos Jesika, and produced by the legendary Roberto Torres, this record feels both timeless and refreshingly alive. The genre and style—Latin and Son—are not just checkboxes here; they’re the heartbeat of the album. Tracks like “Ritmo De Mi Son” and “Yolanda Dime Que Si” stand out as gems that linger in your mind long after the music stops. “Ritmo De Mi Son” kicks things off with an irresistible groove, its percussion hitting you like a warm wave on a summer day. It’s impossible not to tap your feet or nod along as the brass section weaves through the melody. This track feels like a conversation between instruments, each one taking turns to tell its story. Meanwhile, “Yolanda Dime Que Si” strikes a more emotional chord. The vocals are smooth yet tinged with a raw sincerity that makes you feel every word. You don’t need to understand Spanish to get the vibe—it’s universal. The song builds slowly, layering harmonies and rhythms until it feels like a full-blown fiesta. And honestly? It’s hard not to hit repeat when the chorus hits. These two tracks alone make the album worth a listen, but the rest of the songs keep the energy high without ever feeling repetitive. One thing that stands out about Prefiero El Son is how unapologetically authentic it feels. There’s no overproduction or attempt to cater to trends. Chocolate and his team let the music speak for itself, and boy, does it have a lot to say. From the playful “Chocolate Sabroso” to the lively “Para Gozar Abidjan,” the album is a masterclass in how to create something that’s both fun and deeply rooted in tradition. Reflecting on Prefiero El Son, it’s clear why this album has stood the test of time. It’s not just music—it’s a vibe, a feeling, a little slice of joy wrapped up in vinyl. But here’s the kicker: listening to it today feels almost rebellious. In an era dominated by auto-tune and synthetic beats, this album reminds us of what music can be when it’s made with heart and soul. So grab a copy, crank up the volume, and let Monsieur Chocolate take you on a journey. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself dancing in your living room at 2 a.m.

About Chocolate

Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros was born April 4, 1928, died January 6, 2016. He played and recorded with artists such as Beny Moré, Arsenio Rodríguez, Generoso Jiménez, Chico O'Farrill, Orchestra Harlow, Eddie Palmieri, José Fajardo, Tito Puente, César Concepción, Machito, Wynton Marsalis, Marcelino Guerra, Roberto Torres, John Santos, Israel "Cachao" López, Noro Morales, Johnny Pacheco, SAR All Stars, Zon Del Barrio and many others. He was a member of La Sonora Matancera from 1977 to 1980. Due to his characteristic approach to Cuban trumpet playing as well as his extensive recording career, several monographs have been written on his music. Armenteros was born in Santa Clara, Las Villas Province in Cuba. He first began playing in a band led by the sonero/composer René Álvarez called Conjunto Los Astros and soon after with Arsenio Rodríguez. The nickname "Chocolate" was bestowed on him owing to a case of mistaken identity, when someone mistook him for Kid Chocolate, the champion boxer. Died January 6th 2016
