My twin-the late great Frankie Rodriguez-Latin Joe Colon(Ralph Robles)-Lorenzo"chino"Galan(Joe Bataan) and the late great Luis Bonilla(first Harlow album,La Differente) These guys were all smokin conga drummers, unfortunatly they had a death date with drugs. I knew them all personally and would follow them around when I wasn't gigging. In some cases I actually sat in for them when they were down and out. ...........my history.....they were many good drummers back then as there are now, some went on with a career(like myself) and others just went by the wayside.......At your Service...JC JOHNNY CONGA...
