Album Notes & Community Reviews

On 'Mambo con Conga es Mozambique', Eddie Palmieri unveiled his New York mozambique, a rhythm inspired by Pello el Afrokan's Cuban original but built on a different clave and sharing no parts with it. The bell pattern, a guaguanc贸 c谩scara figure first played by timbalero Julito Collazo and later Manny Oquendo, drives an eight-piece trombanga lineup with Tommy Lopez on congas.
