Jeáns Valdés is a founding member of Manolín's group and has contributed many great arrangements, such as "Todo fue mental" "La estrella" and "Pegaíto, pegaíto". He also co-wrote "Un tipo loco" with el Médico.

On a recent tour of Northern California, he contributed compositions and arrangements to Fito Reinoso's "Ya llegamos", including the hilarious and brilliantly arranged "Gordo y que". [Kevin Moore]
