The most demanding percussion sounds are heard in the light piano montuno contrasting the three main hand players breaking out in San Francisco Tiene Su Propio Son, while churning rhythm under light, airy flute with slight synths inform the nicely combined Desde el Fondo del Rio. Album 2000 12 Songs. Son De Patato. 7: of Cuban Percussion. Patato Format: Audio CD. An album that's justifiably titled. Carlos Patato Valdes is indeed a legend of Cuban percussion, having played with Herbie Mann and Tito Puente among others, before leading his own ensembles. This record compiles tracks from his two Ritmo y Candela recordings of the mid-'90s, and an absolute joy it is. Exclusive discount for Prime members. Son De Patato, 07:17.

For more than 60 years Carlos Patato Valdez has demonstrated how a musician can combine technical skill with superb showmanship. His conga playing shows the fusing of melody and rhythm, and his understanding of rhythm is rooted in dancing. Now in his 70's Valdez still dazzles audiences with his rumba moves, he's also the man who gave Brigitte Bardot a mambo lesson in And God Created Woman. The Legend of Cuban Percussion, produced in 2000, collects performances from both Ritmo y Candela musical projects, making these amazing sessions was the leader of his own band, Afrojazzia, which toured Europe in the spring of 1994. In 1995 he recorded the album Ritmo y candela with fellow percussionists Changuito and Orestes Vilató. Similarly, together with Giovanni Hidalgo and Candido Camero he released an album in 2000 entitled The Conga Kings. That year he appeared in the documentary Calle 54. In 2001, Patato was inducted into the International Latin Music Hall of Fame. The Legend of Cuban Percussion Six Degrees, 2000. Contributing artist.
