In this video we play the audio portion of the arrangement that Perez Prado initially called SOLO DE PAILAS whose title was later changed to BATTERY JAZZ.

Dámaso Pérez Prado was born in Matanzas, Cuba in December 11, 1916. He died in Mexico City in September 14, 1989. He was a Cuban bandleader and composer. He is commonly referred to as the "King of the Mambo". Pr His mother was a school teacher, his father a newspaper man. He studied classical piano in his early childhood, and later played organ and piano in local clubs. For a time, he was pianist and arranger for the Orquesta Casino de la Playa. One of Cuba best orchestra of its time. He left Cuba because he was not able to record his new idea of the mambo. He went to Mexico and found there Benny More and both started a partnership that lasted a few years. He was nicknamed "El Cara de Foca" ("Seal Face") by the Mexican people. Benny More recorded this nickname in one of his first mambo recordings. His trade mark was the grunt UGH!

  • Quien es el guitarrista?

  • Este tema apareció por primera vez en el LP de Orfeon , "Pérez Prado Dimensión" , de 1970 , se titula Cerezo , según el listado que aparece en el disco . No confundir con Cerezo Rosa ni con el tema Leo´s Special de 1957 , que interpretaba el baterista Leo Acosta. Pueden comprobar esta información, consultando la discografía de Pérez Prado en discos RCA Victor y Orfeon.

  • Yo tenia este disco y lo preste a un compañero hace como 10 años incluia una version del nocturno de harlem igua de fregona.

  • Este numero se grabo en los anos cincuenta y el que toca la bateria es nada menos que el mejor baterista de Mexico, LEO ACOSTA, extraordinario y sensacional.

  • good

  • La concepcion modernisima del maestro es indudable !!

  • Que Gran Demostracion de Puro Talento!!! Super Orquesta bajo la Direccion del Maestro Perez Prado....Muy buen Video....Gracias..

  • genial
