Free Music Notes for Patato & Totico
Free Music Review: Once in a lifetime
Hit: 5 Stars
"Solamente una vez" an opportunity to capture an ensemble such as this one comes along, this is the real Afro-Cuban sound in its total rawness. I can only describe it as a "must have", if you're into this style of music.Free Music Review: Still Great After 40 Years
Hit: 4 Stars
Within 8 bars of the first song, I was back in the Bronx! If you're an aficionado of Afro Cuban music, you'll love this album.Free Music Review: Extraordinary Old School Rumberos!
Hit: 5 Stars
Patato y Totico were legends back in the day. This exemplary album was the kind that you played until the record had more "popcorn" than clave. It is wonderful that this art has been brought back to life. This is not Cuban Son, as another writer commented. This is guaguanco callejero at its best. You can remember Brooklyn, the Bronx, Harlem as well has Havana and the caserios of San Juan. What a gift. Free Music Review: THE BEST PATATO EVER!
Hit: 5 Stars
IF YOU WANT SON, HERE IT IS. THIS BRINGS YOU BACK IN TIME WHILE BEING TIMELESS! YOU HAVE TO HEAR PATATO & TOTICO, I KNOW YOU'LL AGREE!
ABSOLUTLY THE BEST, I CAN LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!

"One of the great 'Rumbero' recordings of all time with Patato, the Cadiavieco brothers, and Juan 'Curva' Dreke. The bassist here is Cachao, and playing the tres is none other than Arsenio Rodriguez. I believe this is the only recording where you find Patato, Arsenio and Cachao together. (Raul Fernandez 98/99 Catalog). When I was learning to play conga in the late '60s, participating in the rumbas which were common then, in the neighborhood, in the park, or at the beach...this was the record. All the rumberos knew it, and I had most of it memorized and under the cap as well--especially Totico's vocals. It's not pure rumba because it's beefed up with Arsenio Rodr?guez's tres and Cachao's bass, but it can definitely be considered one of the best recordings in the genre. The drumming is excellent, as are the vocal performances by Totico, Virgilio Marti, and Juan 'Curba' Dreke. Very authentic, very melodic, and very well executed; it belongs in everyone's collection--particularly drum aficionados." (Henry Fiol 98/99 Catalog)
"The seminal Afro-Cuban recording. Featuring both Cachao AND Arsenio Rodriguez, in addition to the other masters. This is a definite 'must have.'" (Alan James Geik 98/99 Catalog)
"What am I going to say that hasn't been said before? A true classic, which we are lucky to be able to share in as listeners and as learners." (Chuck Silverman 96/97 Catalog)
"A percussion and voice group that should not turn off anyone due to the melodic content of the tunes whereas Los Mu?equitos and Grupo Guaguanco Matancero would be too pure and authentic for non-Hispanic palates. P and T are a joy...happy music...and also original." (Al Santiago 94/95 Descarga Catalog)
