JCR PERCUSSION ,THE BRONX.USA 

This video is about JCR PERCUSSION in the Bronx: A trip to JCR Percussion owned by Calixto Rivera, aka Caly, where congas, timbales, bongos, panderetas and cowbells have been made for over 40 years in the Bronx, el Condado de la Salsa. A humble and modest man in this shop where everything is handmade. He ships his wares to Spain, Peru, Germany and numerous other locations throughout the globe only by word of mouth. There are no computers in his shop, nor fancy equipment, just manual labor with love and passion. A musician himself, his instruments are made to perfection, especially his signature item, the cowbell , which is shipped out yearly by the thousands. I encourage all latin music enthusiasts to visit his simple shop so you can see where musical instruments are made by hand like the simple cowbell described as the rhythmic backbone of latin music. His shop is located at 948 Ogden Avenue, Bronx, NY ; Telephone 718-293-6589; Made in the USA. Name of song in clip is "Campanero Titico" by Jose Mangual, Jr.
