Paquito D`Rivera

4 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

"Many American musicians think of Carmen Miranda, La Bamba, or La Cucaracha as Latin music. They don't think South American music is very serious. I made this album to demonstrate how to play Latin American rhythms and their application into the language of jazz music." Paquito D'Rivera
