'Florencio Baro' & Eri Okan - 1992

'Florencio Baro' & Eri Okan
(ripped from original cassette)

'Florencio Baro' was born in the Cuban province of Matanzas, and was enmeshed in the fabric of the Afro-Cuban traditions there. He arrived in Miami in the Mariel boat lift of 1980.
Side A of this cassette contains the style of Lucumí music known as "Toque Güiro", played with 'Chekere'/'Shekere' & conga drums. There are songs for nine Orisha.
Side B features 'Florencio Baro' playing some melodic drum solos which recite various folkloric traditions.
Interesting recording, but not astonishing.
