1990 Septeto Habanero

What is nice about Ricardo Vidal Ferro Vicente's
playing style is that it is tasteful and all about simplicity.

He also at times plays an older style/pattern of cowbell/campana, with two beats on the back end consecutively throughout his ride.

Phonetically sounding like:
Toe ti-ki-Toe ti-ki-Toe ti-ki Toe.
As opposed to now commonly:
Toe ti-ki-Toe ti-ki-Toe ti--Toe.
