Paulito FG, aka Pablo FG, aka Paulo FG, aka Pablo Alfonso Fernández Gallo, is one of the central figures of Timba. Paulito's band, the Élite, has always been exceptional, but in 1997 he assembled the truly amazing collection of musicians who collaborated to create one of Timba's crown jewels, Paulito's masterpiece, "Con la Conciencia Tranquila". This album is definitely the starting point for those getting into Paulito's music for the first time. It's his best, and also one of the best, if not the best of the entire Timba genre.

Paulito himself has the outward image of a matinee idol surrounded by legions of adoring young female fans. But he has a highly developed ability to improvise both notes and words. He plays with the melodies and phrasing of his songs much more than most other timba singers and has shown an extraordinary talent for spontaneously inventing guías in the heat of performance. He also has excellent pitch and phrasing and bootleg live recordings show him to be among the most consistently excellent timba vocalists on the concert stage.
