soul freedom
The king of Miami, Florida's Cuban music scene, the late Ray Fernandez, fronting his enormously talented family band which included his wife and two sons. Ray & His Court proved to be a highly influential group on Miami's Latin music scene of the late seventies - the group was highly versatile and easily shifted from Salsa to Cuban funk and even Reggae.

The late sixties and early seventies proved to be a fertile era for the Miami music scene. Those in the know, know that it was the heavy influx of Cuban musicians who had recently migrated to Miami from their homeland as being responsible for upping the musical ante. Ray Fernandez was the first Cuban musician to incorporate American funk and soul rhythms into the Cuban mix and was truly the "King" of the Miami Cuban music community. Many Miami musicians who are well renowned today have, at one time or another, passed through Ray's court.
