I came across a tasty cut by the old-school Afro-Cuban band Estrellas de Chocolate. I pass along the FREE MP3, though I can’t tell you much about it.All I know is that conga player Félix “Chocolate” Alfonso started the group 50 years ago. Before that, he played with Arsenio Rodríguez, a hugely influential Cuban bandleader.

ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the Coverville link in your sidebar! I downloaded three "Prince Cover Story" podcasts. They were all really good.
^ Cool, bklyn6. I keep forgetting to stay on top of Coverville...
