Chucho Valdes - Mamba Influenza

This man is the Cuban pianist, bandleader, composer, and arranger you wish you were. He founded one of Cuba's best-known latin bands in 1972: 'Irakere'. However, this fool mostly gets down solo dolo with a dispensable band. He's won four Grammy awards, including one this year, for his contributions to four different albums. I got put on his rendition of Rhapsody in Blue by the gods at NPR. Peep this shit right quick.
