What music are you listening to at the moment?

[tamboricua]

Anyone know a legit source to buy the CD for a reasonable price in dollars so the musicians can get their dos cocos royalties (if that)?

Gracias Jorge. I saw that, but all the music that site sells is variable bit rate MP3 format, I was hoping to find a place to buy the actual CD. My car and home CD players don't play MP3s and converting VBR-MP3s to wav files and burning them to a CD degrades the sound. It may come down to that if there is no other choice, but that's why I was asking.

Oye Jorge, I have the same source that tamboricua posted and I converted to .wav just for kicks and its the same $hit, no difference whatsoever. Dale, buy it and enjoy.

After the Bill Fitch post I've been spending the weekend listening to my Cal Tjader catalogue, 9 albums and some compilation tracks. It's some really incredible music, I don't know of anyone playing music like this now.

Anyways, that kind of led me into listening to some of the early Mongo and Tito stuff, Top Percussion, In Percussion and Tambo.

This kind of music and sound is what really got me involved in percussion in the first place so it's nice getting back in touch with it.

I'me even tempted to buy a vibraphone!

I wouldnt say Steve Pouchie is the New Cal Tjader...if anyone maybe David Samuels,or the Estrada Bros. is a LOT closer on sound and style to Cal Tjader than Pouchie. I have 85 Cal Tjader albums..there will never be another like him...and Pouchie doesn't come close ..sorry..IMHO...Pouchie is good but he's no Cal Tjader....Im also listening to Tony Martinez and Cuban Power, Estaire Godinez, Blue Mambo, Hamlet, NRG, Ritmo Oriental(one of my favorite Cuban bands)....Johnny Conga....
PS here I am playing my 1960 Orlando Marin Jenco vibes..I am almost finished with my 3rd Cd which I am doing original material with me playing the Vibraphone, I think you all will be surprised. and NO Im no Cal Tjader either, but I try...
