Here's what's in my cd changer right now: "Conga Kings" with Gio, Patato and Candido, "Irakere Babalu Aye", Cachao "From Havana to New York", Irakere "Live at Ronnie Scotts", and a mixed cd of Ray Barretto hits.

I just downloaded "Arpus Fusion" a cd with Anga playing congas and Pascal Coulon on harp. Sounds a little strange, but Pascal's harp sounds more like a Spanish (or Cuban) guitar than a harp you might hear in a symphony or orchestra.

I also got Opus 13 which is Anga's FIRST band ever, that is for later in the day.

VIVA ANGA!!!!

I'm surprised there is no mention of the album "con la conciencia tranquila" which half of the songs are spectacular for a jamming party aside aside from the conga mastery.

Tomas Cruz played congas on that CD by Paulito FG and references a lot of the album in his books. The CD seems to be out of print and basically impossible to get, unless you want to pay internet thieves $60 -$150 for a used CD. You can download pirated MP3s for free from some websites, if you are so inclined to that sort of thing. 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)?
