Video: Cuba - + MP3's: Manley "Piri" López Herrera de "Los Chinitos de la Corea"

'Manley "Piri" López Herrera'

This post has five videos featuring "Piri" playing quinto en rumba.

I like his "rhythmic sensibility" which gives him his own unique "style" of playing quinto.

Also refreshing is that he plays "nobody else's style" but his own.

He plays quinto in the first four videos, in the fifth video he plays Caja (tumbador) then gets up to let another drummer play, then returns to play quinto.

The first three videos, he plays with his Father who is sitting next to him.
'Juan De Dios' sings in several of them.
