There are many great Cuban musicians that reside in

the N.Y.C. / N.J. area, Jose Conde as well as Pablo Moya

are two of my favorites and who I have a lot of respect for.

"Congas Y Comparsas Del Carnaval Habanero"
Panart 1959

With the bands of Carlos Barberia' y Kubavana
& Alberto Zayas' y Su Grupo Afro Cubano.

I'm partial to the cuts with 'Alberto Zayas' y Su Grupo Afro Cubano as he has two trumpet players one of them is the great Oscar "Floresita" Velasco O'farrill taking several trumpet solos and several Bongo solos taken by who to me sounds like Rogelio "Yeyito" Iglesias.
The coros in the Zayas band are always excellent and the use of tuba for the bass parts in the arrangements are great.

5. Las Jardineras
Comp: A. Zayas
Alberto Zayas' y Su Coro Folklórico
Trumpet: "Floresita", bongoes: "Yeyito"
(Tuba playing the bass lines)

"Carnaval En Santiago"

Egrem

An excellent LP on the Egrem label featuring the Comparsa groups: 'San Augustin', 'Los Hoyos', 'Paso Franco',
'Folklórico Del Puerto', 'Herredia', 'La Kimona',
'La Placita', 'Textileros', and 'La Carabalí'.
Even though the title says "En Santiago", the style of the carnaval rhythm "Conga" alternates between contrasting Havana styles and Santiago styles.
With superb Havana trumpet alternating with the Santiago "Corneta China"("trumpeta China")

This record was produced by Enrique Bonne, percussionist from Santiago, former timbale player with Pacho Alonso and father of Timba singer Ángel Bonne.
