Palo Congo

Sabú Martínez · 1957

Palo Congo is the 1957 debut led by conga player Sabú Martínez, credited on the record as Sabu. Recorded in April and released by Blue Note, it brings together an eight-person ensemble with several percussionists and singers. Its instrumentation gives a clear reason to hear it on its own terms.
