Renowned for their distinctive styles and blending of Afro-Cuban and Jazz rhythms, the congueros showcase their uncanny sense of groove on songs like "Tumbando Caña" and the traditional "Avisale A Mi Contrario." Bongos, bass, tres, flute and vocals accompany the three legends, each of whom performs on multiple drums.
Patato and Candido helped to create the multiple-conga style of playing in the 1940's and 1950's. This technique has enhanced recordings by the likes of Billy Taylor, Stan Kenton, Dizzy Gillespie and Tito Puente and can be heard throughout The Conga Kings.
Chesky Records® has captured the live energy and legendary talent of this rhythmic "dream team" in 96kHz/24bit stereo. Arranged by noted musical director Ray Santos, The Conga Kings is an infectious blend of traditional rhythms and melodies that will inspire your own musical "social club."
