  New York City, New York, USA - The
Satalla world music club will be hosting a
Latin Percussion Summit with Carlos "Patato" Valdés, Cándido Camero, Ray
Barretto and Nicky Marrero. The event will tae place Saturday, January 29 at
8:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Admission is $25/advance and $30/door.
Now in his 70s and still going strong, Carlos "Patato" Valdés is considered one
of the greatest conga players ever to tap the skins. He has played with most of
the great figures in the Latin Jazz movement of the 1950s, including a lengthy
stint with Herbie Mann's groundbreaking septet and multiple recordings with Tito
Puente.
Cándido Camero, the Havana-born 83-year old elder statesman of conga, is a
living encyclopedia of the history of Cuban music. Born in La Habana’s colorful
El Cerro neighborhood, Cándido has appeared on hundreds of albums, including
more than 50 as bandleader.
For nearly 40 years, conguero and bandleader Ray Barretto has been one of the
leading forces in Latin jazz. His hard, compelling playing style has graced the
recordings of saxophonists Gene Ammons, Lou Donaldson, and Sonny Stitt, and
guitarists Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell. Together with master timbalero
Nicky Marrero, the stellar ensemble presents the Latin Percussion Summit.
Satalla is located at 37 West 26th Street between Sixth Avenue and Broadway. Phone: +1 212.576.1155.
