    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

    "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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
