Additional Information:
Accordingly, the music of Silos touches the sentiment quite deeply. His lyrical melodies are complemented by exotic harmonies.His melodies were made more appealing through their extended chords, diminished intervals, and secondary dominants. Thus, that enriched the otherwise basic chordal patterns accompanying a tonal melody. Although not as widely performed as other mainstream love songs and kundimans, his music always impresses the listener with its melodic sincerity and elegantly crafted accompaniments. He died on March 10, 2015.
