Among his hits are: "Nostalgia", "Sol de mi vida", "Perico Macoña", Far from you", "Haga tiempo", "El Cantante y la Orquesta", "Sabor Los Rumberos Nuevos", "Bomba Carambomba" and his famous version of the bolero "Dos Gardenias".
Biography[edit]
He was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico. At the age of eight he moved with his family to New York where he lived in East Harlem. He received great musical influence from a young age, with the music of Cortijo and his and Ismael Rivera's Combo being the ones that marked him the most as a musician.
He started out as a timbalero in a band led by guitarist Luis Torres. In Ray Jay's orchestra he debuted as a singer when he had to replace the vocalist. He then joined the group of Mark Dimond, former pianist for Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe. The group later changed its name to "Ángel Canales y Sabor".

Due to the way he distributes the structure of the choruses of his songs (generally, he uses two choruses with different lyrics in the montuno), his attitude on stage and the peculiar timbre of his voice, Ángel Canales is called "El Diferente". Category:Puerto Rican singers
