This is the Matanzas style with flare. Maybe too much,, but he's obviously the leader here and the one calling the shots.
Thats my boys from Muñequitos de Matanzas, minus the quintero... The brother tears it up live with Muñequitos, I got to spend some time with them while they were floating around Havana, they absolutely tore the place up at Palacio de la Rumba where they performed a 2 and a half hour set. Smokin! Luisito on tres golpes, an awesome guy as well, very humble and friendly.
I got to play with with Muñequitos at a function at Casa de La Musica Galiano, the brother on Salidor thought I pullin his leg when I told him I lived in Australia lol he was like "Asere, dejate comer mierda, de veldad de donde eres?!" roughly translated, brother, stop talking/eating shit, seriously, where are you from?! My brother from Adalberto Alvarez took a pic at this very moment, you can see his face at that exact moment. Funny times. Awesome memories.
I got to catch Muñequitos several times during my 6 month stay, Ive only just gotten back.
