Great set of interviews, there is also one of Orestes Vilato, thanks RumBa808.
Haven't heard El Pito in years! Check out the sound of Joe Cuba's slaps, that clean, dry, rich, hollow sound. Not too many conga players use that sound anymore. I love that sound, it is my favorite sound of the instrument. With slaps like that and solid timing, no hay mas na', you don't need a lot of fancy rolls and riffs to get the dancers to come out of the woodwork. Like RumBa808 said, "less is more".
