It's the mother who's to blame. She filled their home with music. She is licensed and specialized in Musical Infantile Education winning numerous prizes of musical composition specific for children. Of course, her faithfully audience were her own children, Boni and Kelly, in those that she planted the music's seed. And the music would accompany them while they grew.

In 1995, Boni enters in the National School of Arts of Cuba to become an actor, ending leading the main roles in several plays and soap operas of great success.

Meanwhile, his brother Kelly, three years younger, followed his steps, entering in 1998 in the Superior Institute of Arts, in this case, specializes in the dance.

Boni’s musical career started as a singer in latin pop groups being an integral part of Klimax, one of the most acclaimed salsa groups of Cuba, giving the opportunity to work next to the Grammy© winner Chucho Valdés.

Before ending his studies in 2002, Kelly was called to duty, as every other Cuban youth. In a very short time he became the center of the meetings in the barracks with a guitar in his hands.

On the other side, Boni was already well known: TV series, interviews, and of course, lots and lots of music, collaborating with BM EXpresso, a salsa band with which he travelled all over the Caribbean, even sharing a stage on one occasion, in Santa Lucia, with Kenny G.

Boni’s artistic career continued in ascent, fundamentally thanks to his moment through Charanga Habanera, well known musical formation which will take him around the world.

After also singing with Klimax, another fashionable group - El Clan- offers Kelly the soloist’s position that he accepts without hesitation. He enters, he sings, he dances and he triumphs. And as his older brother will go around the world performing salsa and Latin pop. He will travel from EuroDisney to Canada; to The Pori Jazz Festival of Copenhagen in Denmark to Chile… an adventure that will last two years.

In 2004, Kelly reaches the stardom definitively with a successful song called “Ese soy yo”. Ina parallel way Boni launches another written by his friend and musician David Calzado, called “El Boni está pasmao”, song that becomes a true Cuban hymn and that settles in a definitive way the nickname of Boni.

With such a diverse and solid trajectory, the Valdivia brothers only had one thing left to do: to be united. Now they are called BnK, a duet that presents ballads that will amazed the international audience because of their so careful lyrics and unforgettable melodies next to its vocal power, joined to their own Latin pop, salsa, jazz, hip hop, flavors.

In December 2006 BnK appeared in Panama City sharing stage with Juan Luis Guerra and Ruben Blades. Now they are editing a well cared CD with arrangements of the maestro Manuel Tejada, in which studios is frequently to coincide with artist such as Juan Luis Guerra. These first CD songs are written for authors of the caliber of Angel Arce, Israel Rojas, and Marcos Alonso or the maestro Omar Alfanno, songwriter of artist likes Marc Anthony and Shakira.

Liverpool Music discovered them, and it is now when the international trajectory of BnK is launched, far from any marketing product left out of factories of songs and musicians of fast consumption. It is about a musical duet of dedicated artists that with twenty four and twenty seven years have been capable to become acclaimed in concerts with over 30,000 people in several countries.

The mother is to blame… yes, that woman who composed and sang songs in her home to her kids in Santi Espiritu, Cuba.
