louis carriion 'louie' when i first heard mongo in a record store on fulton st bklyn i freak out. he has been my mentor ever since . that was in 1965
The drum in this picture was stolen many years ago in San Francisco. I got it later on from a conga player and then returned it to Mongo when I played with him on a few gigs in the bay area.. He was so happy to get it back.
One of my favorite congueros in the world. Seeing him in person was as mesmerizing as his sound on his albums. His solos were fantastic and his fills artistic. We'll miss him and that energetic smile he revealed when he expressed the love his music displayed.
A simple and humble man, Mongo was a true giant in his field. He established licks on his congas that have been emulated for the past fifty years by most legitimate conguero's throughout the world. I had the distinct pleasure of having received some instruction from him, personally, at some of the summer clinics that were held in "El Barrio" back in the mid-sixties. He was the "real deal", folks.

tried to play it , heard crap!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! Do not disrespect my man Otis with your copy a** crap, SOB's Otis was the real deal, live it learn it!
I saw Mongo a lot in New York City in the 70's and 80's. Of all my favorite musicians of the era ie. Palmieri, Barretto, TP, Celia, Lavoe etc., Mongo was the jazziest. He loved Jazz and mixed up a real modern sounding Latin Jazz in the clubs around New York... Great bands and Mongo always had that sweet smiling spirit. Besides the fact that he was an awesome conguero. Sorely missed!
Am looking for title song "Besame Mama"not sure year or album

Mongo inspiro un sin numeros de true salseros en nuestras vidas. He demostrated the true rythm of "Salsa" Music. A joy if you like " Salsa " with afro-cuban soul beat.
Mongo played at the famed Blackhawk jazz club in the tenderloin district,San Francisco,famous for great Jazz artists--Dave Brubeck, Cal Tjader,Paul Deasmond....many others. It was one of the great jazz venues in the world along with the London House in Chicago...both gone but not forgotten.
