Changó

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Before achieving massive crossover success as a Latin jazz bandleader, the legendary conguero recorded these deeply authentic, intensely percussive Afro-Cuban sessions. 'Changó' is rooted entirely in sacred Santería chants and complex, street-level rumba drumming, completely unvarnished by commercial orchestration. The release is a seminal, profoundly important preservation of the African rhythmic foundations underlying modern Latin music.
