Juntos para siempre ("Together Forever") a 2008 studio album by Cuban pianists Bebo Valdés and Chucho Valdés.[1][2] The album was recorded as a piano duet, father and son recording together for the first time in almost 50 years. Each played on a different piano, Chucho being recorded on the left channel and Bebo on the right.[3] The recordings, made in Madrid in two sessions in 2007, were produced by Nat Chediak and Fernando Trueba and consist mostly of Latin standards, including Bebo's own compositions such as "Rareza del siglo", his first hit.[4] Commenting on the long hiatus which kept Bebo away from his family, he stated that he thought that he would never see his son again, but when finally they had the opportunity to be together and record it, it was a "reward for all those years of uncertainty."[4]
