Chano Pozo Rumbero Mayor Vinyl

'Chano was a showman. He was a creator. You could never predict what the guy was going to do next. He’s one of those kinds of people with a million ideas.

Same thing applies with his playing, he never played congas like these guys… he always find something to fit in different, this is why his value is so big. Sometimes you gotta die and rest in peace for 20 years before the people start evaluating what you’re doing.

Now they want to know because so much has happened with the conga, that they want to know where that comes from, and they got to go to the roots.' "'It was similar to a nuclear weapon when it burst on the scene.

They'd never seen a marriage of Cuban music and American music like that before.' - Dizzy Gillespie"
