Odilio Luis Esteban Urfé

Enrique Jorrin

An excellent project organized by both Enrique Jorrin and Odilio Urfe, with arrangements by both of them.
Early 1960's vinyl LP on I.C.A.I.C.
Several featuring the masterful, virtuosic and highly stylistic trumpet playing of Oscar "Florecita" Velasco O'Farrill .
I used Goldwave V.5 to "trim" the beginnings and ends of each track and also slightly clean the surface sound which was in very poor condition before I got it to sound like this:

3. Conga Del Senador
Comp: Ignacio Piñiero
Trumpet: Oscar "Florecita" Velasco O'Farrill

4. Donde Va Maria
Trumpet: Oscar "Florecita" Velasco O'Farrill
Flute: Juan Pablo Miranda

"krishnanda"
Pedro Dos Santos a.k.a. "Pedro Do Sorongo"
Original 1968 vinyl LP on CBS Brasil

((((1968))))

My two favorite Brasilian multi percussionists are
'Papete' and Mestre Pedro Dos Santos, inventor of the
percussion instruments the 'Sorongo' and the 'Tamba'.
Pedro's work with guitarist Sebastião Tapajós is superb.
This is Pedro Dos Santos 1968 very interesting solo work.
