Producer Profile
Ramón Mongo Santamaría was a Cuban percussionist and bandleader whose Afro-Cuban roots made him one of the most authentic voices in Latin jazz. His 1963 hit Watermelon Man — written by Herbie Hancock — brought Latin jazz to mainstream American audiences. His early Riverside albums are essential for anyone exploring the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition.
