Augie Colon has been Martin Denny's Percussionist for three
years now. In this album he is presenting the Puerto Rican boy
who came up in the Hawaiian Islands the hard way. He learned
his music on the street corners.This is not the polished Hollywood
latin much loved by hotel orchestras...it is the music heard in the side
street bars.In fact this is Colon, fierce and proud, a little savage, but
bursting with a natural rhythmical talent.Call it what you may, here
is Colon, his guiro, bongos, congas, boo bams ...........and his buddies.
Released in 1959 on the Liberty label  Lrp-3101
