Hi everyone,
A short contribution to this topic.
I listen to Los Hermanos Lebron (I mean the old tunes),

Pucho Brown & His Latin Soul Brothers (afro-american timbalero, had not been recording for a while and was rediscovered by some crazy london djs, "Rip a Dip", "How am I doin?" and his last album, "The Hideout")
and last but not least, Sargento Garcia, a band based in France, playing rumba and a so-called salsamuffin, but the percussions part are great).

That's it for today;

Tito Diaz

Ok , I have been given a copy as a gift from a student of mine . And he gave me also a booklet , but it doesn´t seem to be the original one , yet it has a lot of background information . The photos included in there are of very bad quality , it shows 2 or 3 shots , but the drums can not be recognized accurately .

Here is a link with some short audio excerpts .
And the recording is from 1980 .

I've been listening to a new album featuring Changuito.
It's called Telegrafia Sin Hilo and it's on a label from Venezuela called Cacao Musica. Great music, fine production, and excellent packaging. Check out track 7.

Got mine from descarga.com.

Speaking of Bobby Sanabria, I received his new CD "Big Band Urban Folktales" yesterday in the same shipment as the Changuito CD.
Another winner.
