"Arturo Sandoval's band in 2005, with Gilberto in white, and his cousin (conga player, can't remember his name) in orange/brown shirt. Brown suit jacket was the pianist (astonishing), the drummer (at back), the bass player in the black shirt, and an astonishing conga player who played six congas (amongst other percussion) and sounded like Elvin Jones...he was incredible." A. Johnson, bass player with Rumba Calzada I have to add here that when in Cuba, I was taken to hear these groups and rehearsals. The dedicated professionalism and showmanship of Cuban musician is outstanding. Something you barely ever see here.
