This 11-member rumba group features three master congueros of Afro-Cuban music: Candido Camero, the 83-year-old elder statesman of congas who is a living encyclopedia of Cuban music and worked with all the jazz masters; Carlos "Patato" Valdez, the 76-year-old icon of conga playing for over 50 years who has toured with every major Latin artist; and Giovanni Hidalgo, the current master of congas who melds Afro-Caribbean, jazz and folkloric influences with his signature style. The ensemble is under the direction of Ray Santos.
Described as the "unrivaled percussive triumvirate" by Rhythm Magazine.
