This dynamic nine-member rumba group features three master congueros of Afro-Cuban music: Candido Camero, the 88-year-old elder statesman of congas who is a living encyclopedia of Cuban music and has worked with all the jazz masters; 83-year-old Francisco Aguabella, the “John Coltrane of the conga” and winner of the prestigious National Heritage Fellowship; and Giovanni Hidalgo, the current master of congas who melds Afro-Caribbean, jazz and folkloric influences with his signature style.

The program is under the direction of four-time Grammy winner Ray Santos and includes exhilirating guest dancers.
