So we all know how much of a killer player Ritchie Flores is right...

I just had no idea he was a killer from suck a young age!
Check him out here, featuring Fernando Luis Garcia, Richie Flores, Endel Dueno, 1977 Puerto Rico

Hey so I'm finally able to transfer VHS to digital, take a look at some of the stuff I have been putting up.

Some classic Muñequitos and Afrocuba de Matanzas. I also have some Conjunto Folklorico and other assorted things to come later.

For me i would pick Giovanni based on his "maturity" on the drum. Ritchie is still Great and now even more so but Gio to me has left everybody behind and running a very close 2nd also to me is Paoli Mejias....he is also "flying" these days..and to see him play up close and personal is truly a "trip" to see!...."JC" Johnny Conga.... :D

PS ...Paoli's hands are almost as small as Gio's...oh how I hate small hands. :( ....."JC" Johnny Conga...

Bros, Richie tells me that he was 7 years old in that video; he checked it out... and it just blew his mind and even more his wifes. He started playing at the age of 5 in the rumbas "callejeras" , as the boys in PR say "chachooooo"
Thanx Abakua.

Chacho! "Chembo" is quite the talented and versitile percussionist. I have heard him before, but not featured alone like the video link presented.

Gracias Abure Tamboricua!

Suave!
Onile!
