too repetitive conga patterns to earn “explosion”…..someday, listen to Santana “Future Primitive” about middle of piece….congas break away from pattern repetition and come from nature.

Brilliant LP - featuring one of the best versions of Watermelon Man

Had lunch with my idol Mongo a month before I was shipped off to Vietnam in "67".

これは有名ですね～(^^) タモリ倶楽部とかで流れていそうな雰囲気の、ちょっと下世話さも感じるラテンナンバー♪オリジナルかと思ったらH.ハンコックのcoverだった！ 因みにモンゴ・サンタマリアはアフロ・キューバン・パーカッショニストの聖人と言われている方です(^_-)

The piccolo solo by Hubert Laws is excellent... His brother Ronnie Laws made some ass kicking music too.

"Afro Blue" is a jazz standard composed by Mongo Santamaría. Mongo Santamaria recorded his composition "Afro Blue" in 1959 when playing with the Cal Tjader Sextet. The first recorded performance was on April 20, 1959, at the Sunset Auditorium in Carmel, California, with Santamaría on percussion. "Mongo Santamaria" (April 7, 1917 - February 1, 2003) was a Cuban percussionist and bandleader who spent most of his career in the United States. Primarily a conga drummer, Santamaría was a leading figure in the pachanga and boogaloo dance crazes of the 1960s. His biggest hit was his rendition of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man", which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. Also "Afro Blue." From the 1970s, he recorded mainly salsa and Latin jazz, before retiring in the late 1990s. He passed away in Miami due to a heart attack at the age of 86.

Being brought up non-prejudice, I met a Latin man, neighbor Who turned to Mongo Santa Maria, a master artist from a distant time and country hearing his music was a gift. Remember this if you’re prejudice you lose

Watermelon man… What a mellow man!!

💚🕺💃💚

One of the all time Greatest Congo Players

En fuego Mongo y la Orquesta, que maravilla!

108 subscribers, they don't know who Mongo was.

Hemiola Bonita! 3:2🎶🎼🎵🎷🥁

Hubert Laws' s solo flute is doing justice to this rendition.....

Wonderful, louche playing. Funkay!

¿alguien sabe si la armonia del minuto 1:32 al 2:01, es original de elllos? Misma armonia puede esucharla en Universal Mind de The Doors. (min 2:22) ruclips.net/video/yWkOXyQMCfI/видео.html

Is it just me, or does that picolo come in playing off-key? seems off-key a lot in this cut. Otherwise this cut is a classic.

MONGO BATUQUEIRO O percussionista cubano Mongo SantaMaria passou mais de 60 anos tocando Congas e foi o cara do Jazz Latino, podemos dizer e teve durante um tempo um jovem em início de carreira chamado Chic Corea. Afro Blues foi sua música, gravada visceralmente por John Coltrane também, e seu disco mais marcante.quis saber se ele tava nesse álbum, acredito que sim.

Excelente ejecucion

Hubert Laws is playing a Piccolo.

Ut le Romualdii

Fantastico Uffffff

Been listening to this cut since 1971; from east - west coast. Herbert law's flute solo,wow!...
