"Two master percussionists from different generations coming together for a magnificent jam session! The legendary Tata Guines, regarded by many as the most influential tumbador of all times, and the brilliant Miguel "Anga" Diaz, regarded by many as Cuba's finest younger generation tumbador and the heir to Tata's throne, come together and create percussive fireworks! Great arrangements by another brilliant young lion of Cuban jazz, Orlando "Maraca" Valle, and a phenomenol supporting cast of musicians and vocalists from both the older and younger generations of Cuban music. Just listen to the power and technique of the opening conga solo intros by both Tata and then Anga, or Anga's beautiful bata work on the jazzy composition "Anga." Great music for listening or dancing!"
