(with Manuel "El Guajro" Mirabal and Jaime Garcia)

1967

 Edy Gual: vocal (sin peluca).

Conjunto Universal, the Cuban band that was based in Miami, Florida.
Their most prolific period was during the late 1960's through the 1970's.
A swinging band with a very unique "Cuban" sound.
Arguably the best Cuban band to come out of Miami in the 1970's.
Directed by pianist and arranger 'Jaime Garcia', with lead vocalist Edy Gual.
On their late 60's and early 70's LP's 'Rolando Rivero' played tumbadoras, he would later run the "Do-Re-Mi" music store on SW 8th street in Miami for years, it closed in April of 2009.

On several of their 70'S LP's they included songs originally done by Conjunto Rumbavana, Conjunto Roberto Faz, Los Latinos, Senen Suarez and Pacho Alonso.
