Sad news indeed. We are losing too many of our great old school players but unfortunately this is life. Most unfortunate is that many of the younger generations don't have El Sabor that these guys had.

His solo on "Cocinando" with the Joe Cuba Sextet is one of my all time favorites for sure.

Forgot to say that Joe Cuba was smoking on his solo on Congas as well.
