I saw N'Klabe perform in Arlington, VA over the weekend. I really like their timbalero. He plays so effortlessly, even when he solos, and he seems so young (I would guess a teenager). Does anyone know his name? Unfortunately my Spanish is very weak and if they mentioned him by name I missed it. Thanks.

I found it! It's Marcos Lopez Ayala. The article on lpmusic.com lists him as 16 years old, but I don't know when the article was written.
The article says, "His father is trumpeter and singer, Marcos Malory, and his grandfather is singer, Sammy Ayala, founder of 'Rafael Cortijo and his Combo', and currently the band leader of 'Herencia'". He's got good genes.
From what I've read he's had an impressive career already. I wish him continued success.
Thanks for the info, Raymond. You're THE MAN!!!
