Album Notes & Community Reviews

Before his massive crossover success in the Latin jazz boom, the legendary conguero recorded this intense, deeply authentic percussive session. 'Afro Cuban Drums' strips away commercial orchestration entirely to focus on the complex polyrhythms and sacred chants of Santer铆a rituals and street-level rumba, preserving the African roots of modern Cuban music.
