Cuban-born percussionist Cándido Camero’s (1921–2020) unique style involved playing multiple congas, bongos, and small percussion, seemingly at the same time, thrilling audiences and jazz musicians alike.

Camero moved to New York City (NYC) in 1946 and was part of a generation of Cuban musicians who laid the foundation for Latin jazz. In the 1960s, he experimented with soul and funk playing alongside jazz musicians like Donald Byrd and Grant Green. Camero also contributed to the emerging salsa scene, recording albums with Tito Puente, Charlie Palmieri, and Eddie Palmieri.

He invented this foot-powered cowbell in NYC.

El estilo único del percusionista de origen cubano Cándido Camero (1921–2020) consistía en tocar múltiples congas, bongos y pequeña percusión, aparentemente de manera simultánea, fascinando tanto al público como a los músicos de jazz.

Camero se mudó a Nueva York en 1946 y formó parte de una generación de músicos cubanos que sentaron las bases del jazz latino. En la década de 1960, experimentó con soul y funk tocando junto a músicos de jazz como Donald Byrd y Grant Green. También contribuyó a la escena emergente de la salsa, grabando álbumes con Tito Puente, Charlie Palmieri y Eddie Palmieri.

Él inventó este cencerro de pedal en NYC.

"The wooden drum — whose name means “panther-lion” — measures about 11.5 feet (138 inches) long and weighs roughly 950 pounds. Historians say it played a key role in warning villages about forced labor recruitment organized by colonial authorities."

France has returned a looted sacred talking drum to Ivory Coast, marking the first official restitution of precious artifacts from France to the west African nation after they were looted during the colonial era.
