Matanzas Bata Recordings?

[bengon]

Hello all. I'm looking for any recommendations for Bata recordings from Matanzas.

I have Sacred Rhythms by Armando Diaz Alfonzo, Bata y Bembe de Matanzas by Alfredo Calvo, and El Lenguage del Tambor by Danial Alfonso and the Los Munequitos Folkloric CD.

Are there any others?
