One of the musicians that impressed me the most was Toots Thielmans who I had the occasion to meet several times. I was especially impressed when he sat in at the Jazz Cafe in Brussels, Belgium with the Latin Percussion Jazz Ensemble, a group I put on tour between 1979 and 1980 to spread the word of my percussion brand, LP.
During our visit to Cuba on April, 2016 we had to opportunity to visit Matanzas, Cuba.We are forever grateful for Los Muñequitos de Matanzas opening their home to us.
