Here is a popular masterpiece made by Bonny Cepeda titled Asesina.
The song was released in the summer 0f 1986.
Asesina: a one-of-a-kind Merengue performed and arranged by Bonny Cepeda a.k.a El Maestro Joven (The Young Master).
He earned this nickname because of his brilliance, old Merengueros were quick to recognize his talent and peculiar style.
Note the nice intro sung in English and Spanish, something not many have done successfully like Bonny. In the world of Merengue, that is.
The musical arrangement is unconventional since at the time Dominican merengueros were not using synthetizers as skillfully as Bonny Cepeda.
He's also the lead singer in this piece, his brother Richie helped in the chorus, as usual.
These two brothers were practically inseparable, they were a winning formula in music-making.
The mambos and overall music for this song make it memorable because this guy really crafted a good product which had a nice welcome by the industry and the people.
He became extremely popular and received a lot of airplay in DR, PR, the U.S. Central, South America and Europe.
Bonny Cepeda is a legend in the history of Merengue, his contributions have been invaluable, many other singers and band directors relied on him for arrangements that helped many Merengue songs become hits in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Among them we count Fernando Villalona, Wilfrido Vargas, Los Kenton, etc.
Merengue For Ever salutes Bonny Cepeda and recognizes his talent and the enduring quality of his work.
Listen to this song and enjoy!
