Two master percussionists from different generations coming together for a magnificent jam session! The legendary Tata Guines, regarded by many as the most influential tumbador of all times, and the brilliant Miguel "Anga" Diaz, regarded by many as Cuba's finest younger generation tumbador and the heir to Tata's throne, come together and create percussive fireworks! Great arrangements by another brilliant young lion of Cuban jazz, Orlando "Maraca" Valle, and a phenomenol supporting cast of musicians and vocalists from both the older and younger generations of Cuban music. Just listen to the power and technique of the opening conga solo intros by both Tata and then Anga, or Anga's beautiful bata work on the jazzy composition "Anga." Great music for listening or dancing!

I had the pleasure of seeing Miguel Anga in concert in Chicago last year. He is a phenomenal conguero. I had never before seen someone play four drums. Listen to the first cut, "Presentacion" and you will not believe that one person could play so well.

I had the chance to "live " with TATA during a percussion week, and it was a great moment in my musician life ! In this record, Anga meets Tata, it's the same school and it's a pleasure for our ears...

Last week this group made a great performance in Brazil and we could feel the beat and the dancing on those rithm
