Title:	Brujerias/Latin McGuffa's Dust
Label:	VAMPISOUL (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	VAMPI 030CD

2004 release. One of the world's leading congueros, Candido recorded this Brujerías (witchcraft pieces) in 1971 with the band of Tito Puente (of which Candido was a member), who counts this album as one of his own. That should give you an idea about how good this stuff is. Candido was not only the man who first played two and three congas simultaneously, but was a percussive and melodic genius. Featured here in a small group setting along with the company of Tito Puente's arrangements and Israel López's "tumbao" double bass on several songs. The set is an impeccable batch of jazzy percussion tracks --with Candido leading on congas, and the group grooving behind him.
