Tata Guines Federico Aristides Soto Alejo
(Guines, Cuba 18JUL1930 - Havana, Cuba 04FEB2008)
For a moment the drum silence to dismiss one of the living legends of the drum, one of the most studious in the Caribbean percussionists who has been among their children, whose contributions to the implementation of the congas remain from generation to generation. Hands always very close to the scalp, Tata Guines characterized their sound clean, clear, distinctive phrasing and burdened with all the stale taste marinated in the largest of the Antilles, obtaining extract sounds ancient, alive. Today the drum break, but must continue ringing for the legacy remains with us.
