Fredesvinda García Valdés (also appears as Fredesvinda García Herrera or Fredesvinda García) was born in the 1930s (sources disagree) in Céspedes, a small village in the Camagüey province of Cuba from a poor peasant family. She died of heart failure on 31 July 1961 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Known as Freddy, she sang a cappella in clubs in Havana and recorded only one album before her death.
