Billy Taylor with Candido! How can you go wrong!?! Gee I wish there was more music like that made today!

He plays his drums like a piano, left hand chords, right hand whatever, know Candido from way back, great stuff, swings.

simply beautiful.pulls your ear right into the sound.

Dig that little Manteca quote in there. I always appreciated Candido's melodic approach to conga playing. That's what distinguishes him from the rest.

Nothing in this world will ever stop candido & his wonderful playing skills he made for conga drumming!

R.I.P. Candido

Candido is like 1000 year's old of course he doesn't play like he was young but we should pay respect to all musician's cause they gave us something to strive for.

will remain my Top 3 songs.

I remember buying an EP with the songs "Bit of Betlam" and "Mambo in" in the late fifties. We listened, smoked grass and danced like crazy to the music.

Greatest

It took me many years, but I am just now gaining much appreciation for Candido! Always have been a big Billy Taylor fan, and never really appreciated him, but I'm now beginning to truly understand that every member of the video plays a crucial part to the final product. I appreciate you so much JVG! You have definitely helped shape/foster my love for jazz at such a young age!! I'm going to share your vids wherever I can!

Yes I love his style..

Billy Taylor has a joyous sound.

Very musical. Some conga players play tons of 32notes etc and forget to solo musically. The solo and playing was tastefully and full of melodic solos etc. Really appreciate the music

Is that "The Doctor" Barnette Williams of The Midnight Band? Wow! wonder whether fans of Gil Scott-Heron have seen this footage. Excellent thanks.

Thanks Jazz Video! Wonderful cats!

GREAT TUNE, GREAT PLAYERS. CANDIDO PLAYED WITH EVERYONE. I HAD ALL THE GEORGE SHEARING RECORDS. HE CAME AS AN ACT LATTER ON TO THE RALEIGH CATSKILL HOTEL. I PLAYED HIS ACT AND HE REALLY COMPLEMENTEDY PLAYING.

Wow!

Rip brother

That's Cándido Camero one of most important cuban "congueros" ever. He's presently 99 and is THE CONGA KING among to Chano Pozo, Mongo Santamaría, Patato, Aguabella and Armando Peraza. Legends.

What a wonderful arrangement! I cherish the two Candido LPs I have: one from th3e early years, the other from the disco era. via el gran congero!!

An absolute musical genius and originator from the AfroCuban tradition to the World!

wow he melodically quoted manteca WITH DRUMS! AMAZING!

thanks for sharing!

fantastic!

Extraordinary Candido!

MAESTRO CÁNDIDO CAMERO, QUÉ TOQUE!!!!.

candido is a genius, its performance is unmistakable, is identified with ease. even by leigos.quem was once you connect, and says: I know is beating, is the dance of black candido.na in Brazil, capoeira is that it has a song that says; if black is good, clap for ele.candido deserves because he's great.

love the relaxed way he gets the tumbao out of the drums. Not mad crazy on the quite straight formulas he uses for the solos.

really sweet!

❤❤❤

Its like he's playing a melody with his drums behind the beat. I like that.

Candido era un fenomeno, era el hombre de los mil dedos...

Grande

RIP, maestro.

Bravo!!!

We will miss you, Cándido.

TÁ .. SUPER. GRACIAS

RIP Cándido.

RIP Billy Taylor

This is a true Master Conga Player. My first LP was Candido. He could play so melodically, that I had to pick up a Conga and I wanted to play 1/2 of what he played.

I LOVE THIS!!!

yeah man. Love it. thanks

It's Jazz alright, but LATIN in capitals, the bass is playing is playing traditional tumbadora patterns, and that's a traditional 3/2 son montuno clave, played throughout. Don't know much about B. Taylor, but lovely melodies, he def, got latin chops on this one, gonna check him out thanks for educating me JV Guy!

I MEANT HE REALLY COMPLEMENTED MY PLAYING AFTER HE PLAYED HIS ACT AND I WAS THRILL TO PLAY WITH AN IDOL!

excelente maestro,congratulation

Candido sacaba melodia a las congas, increible.

Amazing how Candido can make so much sound without hardly touching the congas :-) I wonder how old he is?Must be getting on...

Pretty good!

@MrsRoman4eva I see where you're coming from, but Candido still plays with great precision and soul here. I can dig it! He's the real deal.

Demasiado bueno.

He’s a classic they don’t make them like that anymore

UNFUCKINFBELIVIEABLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Candido is GOD's gift to the congas and music! And Mr. Billy Taylor ur no slouch either.

MUITOS ESTÃO PREOCUPADOS EM ATAQUES RÁPIDOS,E COMPLICADOS GOLPES. CANDIDO É UM GENIO ,UM ATQUE SIMPLES ,QUE UM LEIGO ,INDENTIFICA COM FACILIDADE, E DIZ CONHEÇO ESTA BATIDA. É CANDIDO.

RIP Billy TAylor

QUERO VER VC FAZER ISSO COM 90 ANOS,NÃO ADIANTA JOGAR MUITO ,E FICAR NO ESQUECIMENTO.CANDIDO COMEÇOU COMO NOVATO,VAI MORRER COMO NOVATO,POR ISSO VIROU UMA LENDA .QUEM HOUVE CANDIDO NÃO SE ESQUECE DA SUA MELODIA NAS CONGAS..

0:50 mans be looking like RoboCop

As of april 23 2009 candido turned 88 yrs old

Fighting high

candido is very good.

genius

He is the Roland Kirk of conga

Would be nice to see today's jazz include more African roots and rhythms

UIn verdadero maestro de las congas. A real master on congas.

Great clip!. BTW, Candido's last name is Camero, not Cameron as listed in the notes.

@MrsRoman4eva. I watched this video and thought to myself Candido had gotten a little old by this time, but still sounds good. He was one of the first Cuban drummers who had learned how to interface well with American jazz players, Then as I scrolled down to the comments, I thought to myself, I'll bet some armchair quarterback found something wrong with this, and lo and behold, there you are, predictable.

Dear Egha, please take a step back and control yourself. He is now over 90 years old.

Great Video! Candido is the best! However, his last name is spelled incorrectly. It is Candido Camero......no "n" at the end. Thanks.

Like Patato once said, to play congas, you must treat them like a woman. You must caress them and be gentle to get what you want out of them.

@MrsRoman4eva Tin Cans?

olvidance de todos los otros candido es el rey

JazzVideo Guy, I respect your opinion, but I wonder if you are truly listening to the descarga that candido bring when he plays.

@JazzVideoGuy I respect your opinion, but I wonder if you are truly listening to the descarga that candido bring when he plays.

more like Bongo Inn lol!!

hiiiihaaaa

maybe his fingers just...hurt

打的好穩哈哈～～但手一定痛壞了～～～

Michael Jordan on Congas!! lml,

Nose porque tanto si ni siquiera le sabe pegar alas congas el señor

3 people hate music

What? White guys cant play mambo? If you want to get in to that black and white thing lets do. Sure you people started this music, but only in music you may steal from others ;) Cmon , the colour doesent count , its whats in you , what you ramain of. Bring some love , and you will get it back people :)

Candido repeats his conga slaps,nothing fresh, nothing out of this world, very basic, Williams on bongitos holds steady

why is he a legend?? he plays conga like a beginner to me. I'm not even impressed
