congasAbout
Poncho Sanchez has been preaching the “gospel of the clave” for over three decades. In that time he has not only carried on the legacy of his mentor, the great Cal Tjader, but also expanded his repertoire to incorporate forays into classic soul and blues, all the while honoring the tradition of Afro-Cuban music. From pensive boleros to high-energy mambos and funky James Brown grooves, Poncho’s choice of rhythmic moods and material are both intriguing and crowd-pleasing, His latest CD, Live in Hollywood, celebrates his 30th anniversary at Concord Records.
