you can't listen to modern latin music without hearing this man's incredible influence. in the 1930s, along with his brother oréstes, he created what became the mambo which served as the basis for latin music of all types - from salsa to latin jazz and beyond.
his influence on me as a bass player was larger than life and shaped not just the musician i am today but how i listen to music. i dare say he had a similar influence on every musician that was aware of his contributions.
como su ritmo no hay dos, maestro.
respeto.
