Daniel Diaz...

Postby Tumbas » Mon Feb 13, 2012 1:04 pm

In the 1980's I had the pleasure of being turned on to the seminal Cuban son group known as La Ritmo Oriental.

They quickly became my all time favorite group. They absolutely smoke.

On Pailas was Daniel Diaz, who passed away in a car accident, I believe. It's a great loss because if you're not in tuned with Cuban Son, you might not have heard of him.

He was amazing.

I would like to know what is your opinion of his technique and style?

He is on all the early recordings up to, I believe, their 30 year anniversary album. I don't know who played beyond that.

And also, his setup was awesome. I had a couple of pictures I found online of it, but I lost them when my computer was attacked by a trojan virus.

Please discuss... :D
