    OMG!! I have been looking for this music since I first heard about it in 2000!! I have "Encuentre Entre Soneros" but no-one seems to have a copy of "El Mayombero". I am a guitarist and tres player in NYC and both Oviedos, Isaac and Papi are right at the top of my list as great Treseros. Thank you!!

    It's not easy to find, I've never seen it for sale anywhere.
    It's a very nice recording by him.

    Enjoy!
