| It is almost impossible to condense the amazing career of Ramón "Mongo" Santamaria into one all-encompassing record. This pioneering Cuban percussionist was among the most acclaimed figures of Latin jazz, and whose 1963 Top 10 hit "Watermelon Man" stands as a precursor to pop crossover into Latin music. Extremely talented, his distinct sound and his melodic approach made him the most influential conguero in the jazz world. He was responsible for the absorption of Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian rhythms into American popular music, such as R&B, Soul and Funk. The press rightfully considers him a funk forerunner. And Latin R&B, Latin soul, Latin funk and Latin jazz is exactly what this compilation is about.
