About
The beat of conga drums and the rhythm of maracas took jazz into a new era. Dizzy Gillespie imbued his tunes with the sounds of Cuba and Stan Getz injected the music of Brazil. The result was fresh beats, exciting dances, and new songs like “A Night in Tunisia,” “Corcovado,” “Manteca,” and the classic “Girl from Ipanema.” Join special guest conguero Doug “Pablow” Edwards as he navigates the sounds and rhythms of Latin America.
