Candido Camero Showcase 1956-1973 banned from youtube Conga Soul Sessions presents the music of Cuban percussionist Candido who celebrates his 94thbirthday on April 22. He began playing the bongo at a very early age growing up in Havana within a musical family. He learned to play the tres and bass as well. It was with the latter two instruments that he began playing with various groups and eventually working with Chano Pozo’s group Conjunto Azul as a bass player with Mongo Santamaria on the bongos. He would help Mongo with his job delivering mail so they could have time to practice. With Arsenio Rodriguez revolutionizing the way son was to emerge with the birth of the conjunto and adding the conga drum as well as piano, the music would become more complex. Since Candido didn’t know how to read music he decided in his early 20’s to start focusing on playing congas which wasn’t new to him as he participated in many rumbas in his neighborhood from a young age. He started getting work in the cabarets playing bongo with the house band and playing quinto with various dance teams. By 1943 he was with the Tropicana Orchestra as well as performing on radio and recording with Bebo Valdes. Eventually he started working with the dance team of Carmen & Rolando at the Tropicana that were booked to perform in New York City. They didn’t have enough funds to bring the two conga drummers so they choose to bring only the quinto player Candido. Out of this situation Candido decided to bring 2 congas anyway and in 1946 out of his inventiveness he played both parts the rhythm while soloing on the quinto following the movements of the dancers. It was a smash and something new. Candido decided to stay in New York and his first recording in the United States was with the Machito Orchestra. This was also fertile time between Latino and jazz musicians as bebop was what was going on 52ndSt. Dizzy Gillespie was impressed with his playing at the Palladium with Tito Puente and asked him to come down the Downbeat Club to sit in with Billy Taylor’s trio to see how he would play in a jazz setting. Dizzy hired him to go on tour the next day but since Candido’s understanding of English was limited at the time he thought Dizzy meant to come back to the club. Dizzy actually wanted him to meet him at the train station. Candido arrived at the Downbeat expecting Dizzy but since he was not there and the previous night was happening he got offered a one year contract with Billy’s trio in the house band. He got to play with practically who’s who of the jazz world including Charlie Parker. His first jazz recording was with Billy Taylor and would record with Dizzy, Art Blakey, Buddy Rich, Errol Garner, Sonny Rollins, Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, Gene Ammons, Randy Weston, Elvin Jones and many more. Only Ray Barretto who sidelined playing jazz during this time has probably been just as busy recording for the jazz labels. But only Candido as a Latin percussionist was given a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award in 2008 for his contribution to jazz.Candido was able to play the bongos and the congas at the same time and incorporated other percussion as well such as the foot pedal and guiro attach to his congas. He would play 6 congas and bring out melodies within the instrument before anyone else. Eventually he settled on just three due to mainly they could fit in his trunk of his car. He was the first professional to play on fiberglass congas made by Frank Mesa in 1957. The year before marked his debut as a solo artist with ABC-Paramount which he recorded 5 albums for. They were latin jazz albums from small combos to big band and one calypso based lp. By the late 60’s and 70’s his albums would incorporate r&b and funk like his friend Mongo was pursuing. He made a disco album for Salsoul records in 1979 which brought him success and seen as an influence to house heads while his records from the 70’s where sampled for its percussion breaks during the early hip...

Johnny Colon Showcase 1967-1975 Banned from youtube Boogaloo Joe presents us with Cotique Recording artist Johnny Colon & His Orchestra during the height of Latin Soul period from New York. Johnny Colon on his first record had a hit with “Boogaloo Blues” with the help of being a hit on Symphony Sid’s Latin music radio broadcast. That’s what it took to being the next thing in the scene. But Johnny Colon took his music farther than just swinging blues and soul into a latin bag. He went deeper into the Afro-Cuban & Boricua musical roots. Using a two trombone front and a solid rhythm section that was funky and loose. His main instrument being the trombone and his music reflected the style that was ranging from La Perfecta’s example. He would take over the piano chair and eventually take on the lead vocals as well. After his two vocalists Rafael “Tito” Ramos and Tony Rojas would leave to start the TNT Band. His music would transcend from the Latin Soul into the evolution of what was becoming the Salsa sound that the Fania label would eventually dominate but during boogaloo’s heyday when they had started out some of their artists where just riding the wave but the artists of Cotique Records where some of the purest genuine talented groups of Latin Soul. When the powers that be came down on the boogaloo artists for fighting against the arrangement of the booking deals they were enslaved to. Instead of honoring their requests they blacklisted these artists and Johnny Colon was one of those artists in the crossfire. He focus his next project in setting up the East Harlem Music School. It would grow into a great institution producing great young latin musicians since 1972. In 2008 he returned to music with the album “Keeping It Real” with new fans discovering these recordings. Live from Joséito’s Hideaway, a mix from tracks from his 6 albums for Cotique Records. Always a favorite - at it’s most grittiness and most soulful. ¡Oye Brokie! Bye –Ya!
