Well my name is Richie Flores my beginnings on percussion on the conga/tumbadora instrument, where at the age of four thanks to my father that gave me the first steps as we say here, then my father told me to listed to all the great conga masters LPs such as Patato Valdez, Tata Guines, Ray Barretto, Mongo Santamaria, Candido
I learned a lot from all of them you need to listen to them, my trajectory started playing with the group Batacumbele at the age of eight with the master Giovanni Hidalgo, then with Roberto Roena and with other groups in Puerto Rico. I go to the “Escuela Libre De Musica” to study music because you also need to be prepared; also I thank God that we are here with REMO.
The REMO products that I use witch are perfect for me are the synthetic skins they are really similar to the real skins but I recommend them the most %100, when you are on tour working on 30 or 40 concerts at the same they protect your hands because they feel good, they don’t feel harsh at all when you tune them they stay in tune without any problems I really recommend them to everybody, they are perfect to play everywhere and on the studio,
I have done many Latin jazz recordings the master Eddie Palmieri with David Sanchez on the saxophone and the master that invented the Mambo master Israel Lopez Cachao also a lot of Salsa recordings on New York with the group DLG well I have recorded a lot, I really love this REMO skins for traveling they are great and feel great on the hands.

y en el parche sinteticoo no se pierde la afinacion, ni la escencia
