Afro Cuban folkloric drum and voice. This music is heard in Mantanzas and Havana Cuba, out of funky second floor dance studios in San Francisco's Mission District and now in LA. Rumbas, Batas and Comparsas, fantastic percussion and vocals (in Spanish and Yoruban) The group is made up of musicians from the Jack Johnson trio, Ozomatli, Innocent Criminals and the vocalist is from Afro Cuba de Mantanzas All tracks are GREAT.
