Candido was known for his peerless work as a bongero and congero.
He also played a mean bass and tres which he mastered as a kid growing up in Havana.
In 1984, Alfredo Valdez talked him into recording on the tres.

Ben Lapidus and Pablo Mendendez with special guests at the Havana Jazz Festival 2019.
Note: Ben’s new book “New York and the International Sound of Latin Music 1940-1990” is nothing short of SPECTACULAR. You can check it out here.
I can’t overstate how wonderful this book is. A full 360 degree view of one of the greatest music scenes that ever was: the musicians, the educators, the venues, even the instrument makers. Ben tells the WHOLE story. Beautiful.
