Tambor August 6th 1989 Oru Cantado Rolando Yoyo Valdez "el gordo" Havana Cuba

Tambor de Jesus Perez Directed by Regino Jimenez Recorded by Mark Lamson This was a very special day as so many all-star players and singers showed up in addition to Regino's team like Carlos Aldama, Pancho Quinto, Felipe Alfonso , Pedro Saavedra, Lazaro Ros Candido etc etc. This was also the first day Maito was back after many years.
