Fabulous Rhythms Of Modesto (LP)
Modesto Duran
Amoeba Review
Fabulous Rhythms Of Modesto is the 1960 solo debut by the great Cuban conga player who performed with a wide range of artists including Perez Prado, Eartha Kitt, Lena Horne, and Harry Belafonte. Reissued here by Numero Group, the album is a lively mix of Afro-Cuban jazz, cha-cha, mambo, and more. “Silent Island” floats on romantic swells; “Chuqui Bambo” is slinky and hypnotic; “Jungle Dream” is a hip-shaking good time.
