Caprixo de Fashion: Mongo Santamaria

Mongo Santamaria - Afro-Roots (1958-59)

Posted by Sisca Cute Love U in *Music*, *South and Central America*, Cuba on Saturday, September 27, 2008

«A CD reissue of a mid-'70s repackaging of Mongo Santamaria's first two Fantasy albums, 1958's Yambu and 1959's Mongo, Afro-Roots is superb Latin jazz. Although these were Santamaria's first albums as a leader, the conga player had already worked with Pérez Prado, Tito Puente, and Cal Tjader, giving him absolutely impeccable Latin jazz credentials to go along with his obviously amazing chops.
