[esausillo2010]

exelente trompeta, que sonido megusta mas que arturo (el sonido)

[MrThecomplexmusic]

@esausillo2010 Es Mario Morejon Hernandes 'El Indio' y es el mejor improvisador de Jazz Cubano, visto hasta hoy, porque a la hora de enlazar notas lo hace de una manera abrumadora, lo que esta haciendo es muy complicado porque no repite ni una sola, todas son distintas y a una velocidad impresionante y transmite mucha calma y facilidad, mientras que Arturo hace lo mismo pero con un sonido mas forzado y en su rostro denota todo el gran esfuerzo que esta haciendo al tocar. Aché

[denzelsnipes69]

I love Latin/Afro-Cuban jazz! If it wasn't against the law for me as an American to travel there, I would've visited Cuba long ago.

[Ryosuke324]

i remeber this theme,when i was living in cuba by the 1993 around, i listen it in the radio,but the solo start by cezar lopez, the alto sax.

Chucho composed this song while he was here in San Francisco in 1995 as part of "Irakere West" at the Great American Music Hall.

[TimbaCriolla]

Sweet!

[deaquidealla]

jose miguel melendez ( timbal) también lo vemos ahi en sus primeros años con IRAKERE ...

[Irakereisthebest]

Mario "El Indio" es uno de los mejores trompetistas del mundo, lo demostró en este tema y en "La explosión" el mejor tema de "Yemayá".

[MrThecomplexmusic]

@Irakereisthebest Es Cierto, Mario El Indio, es de esos músicos que superan la barra de virtuosos para lograr ser genios, hace ver fácil lo complicado, y no exagero si lo comparo con Charlie Parker, Art Tatum o John Coltrane, músicos que lograron romper en su instrumento esa barra. El Trompeta mas prodigioso del Caribe, segun yo.

[cincontrol]

This musicians are awesome. Man, you can go to Cuba and find bad ass musicians in almost every corner.

[boricuajazzz8]

You are so right.

[boricuajazzz8]

The Man! thanks for the info...

[AndrewMcIntosh]

Who's that on trumpet?

[boricuajazzz8]

He's great isn't he...

He is from the new "Irakere"

[8pan6que]

his name is Mario Fernandez . Tehy call him " El Indio"

[cubanpirate]

@AndrewMcIntosh

Yasek Manzano on trumpet. Cesar Lopez on sax (to the extreme right). Carlos Emilio Morales on guitar. Chucho Valdes on piano (of course!). The rest I can't rell.

[AndrewMcIntosh]

@cubanpirate

Incorrect.

Yasek wasn't born when this aired.

That 's Mario "El Indio" Morejon on trumpet (other people in the comments have already confirmed this since I asked that question 2 years ago). Also - because of the air date it makes it very unlikely that's Cesar Lopez on sax, or if it is, he's a teenager. You're thinking of the wrong era of Irakere.

[cubanpirate]

@AndrewMcIntosh You are right, I got Manzano wrong, but luckily I just watched the documentary "Jazz Latin Founders" about the history of Irakere where this, and other videos, are included. This one is credited from 1990. The caption reads Mario Hernández "El Indio". And that's Cesar Lopez, he joined Irakere in 1988 when he was 19 years old.

[AndrewMcIntosh]

@cubanpirate El Indio's full name is Mario Morejon Hernanadez (as I stated), and Cesar Lopez is 21 in that video. The reason I know all this is because I represent BROWNMAN - a Trinidadian born trumpet player who has toured with Irakere & is now based on Toronto. He knew it was El Indio immediately. brownman.com for more on him if you're interested. The New York Times calls him "Canada's preeminent jazz trumpet player", but he's their top latin-jazz guy also. Check him out.

[psychs2000]

@AndrewMcIntosh Ts Mario " El Indio" Hernandez he was only 20 when he came to SF in 1995...I got a chance to jump in a cab with him ..i had to bribe a bouncer to get him into a club...
