  • All the haters in this comment thread clearly know nothing of the batá rhythms Armando is replicating. He's essentially covering, solo, the parts of three drummers playing on double-headed drums. It's not supposed to sound 'linear'. Every rhythm in popular Latin music exists in it's purest most transcendent form in the toques of the batá used in the Lukumí religion. Like Fela Kuti said, "Who no know, go know".

  • In the interview part of this production, Mr. Cohen, the producer stated that Mr. Peraza, when this video was made, was 90 YEARS OLD ! Now, let see if the foolish youth that criticizes Mr. Peraza can last that long, lest be a Master of the instrument. We must show respect to the Elders, lest we stop the continuity of tradition. Only Masters, elders can teach the youth.
