Honoring the Elders......CANDIDO

This quartet was originally organized by Marco Rizo, the famous Cuban composer who gained immortality by penning Lucy's Theme from the I Love Lucy Show. After his passing, Bobby Sanabria kept it alive using the fantastic Eddy Martinez on keyboards at this performance. This particular tune was written by Rizo specifically to show off the talents of the "Thousand Fingered Man" Candido. It's called Afro Samba.

Candido sings.........

We have another jewel here where Maestro Candido sings "Compadre Pedro Juan," a classic Merengue from Santo Domingo. Eddy Martinez, Victor Venegas and Bobby Sanabria give it a new little twist.

Candido Sings.....

Here we have a rare glimpse of maestro Candido not only playing but singing also. There are some inspired solos from Eddy Martinez, Victor Venegas and Bobby Sanabria as well. The cuarteto pays homage to the classic Son De La Loma.
