MANTECA “RITMO + SABOR”
Personnel: Manteca · Nelson Padron · Carlos "Patato" Valdez
BLACK/GRAY LABEL...1ST ISSUE? 2 SETS OF D EAD WAX NUMBERS!!
Lazaro Pla, better known as Manteca, was a master "bongonsero" who first rose to fame in 1940's Cuba, when he was a featured attraction with the great pianist and composer Ernesto Lecouna. He was Also a member of the Armando Orefiche Orchestra.
Although Manteca is found on many recordings originating from Cuba, only a very small amount of material exists of him as a featured soloist or as the leader of a small combo.
These famed sessions took place in the United States - Miami to be exact, sometime in the early 1970s. This was a very unique session indeed as two other Cuban expatriates join Manteca in the studio - two of his early admirers who grew up listening to his rhythms: master percussionists Carlos "Patato" Valdes and the amazing Nelson "Flaco" Padron producing these two of the finest examples of incendiary Cuban percussion ever recorded.The remainder of this session's musicians are unquoted. (I've heard it suggested that the legendary Cachao could be on bass but this remains unconfirmed).
