Ray Barretto Live at the New Morning, Paris, june 28th, 2003 

Beautiful conga sound, I love Ray😘

great music, well performed, best of latin jazz,,,

J'avais été voir son concert c'etait en 2002 et celui en 1997 au même endroit . Mr ray barretto a été l'un ce ceux qui m'a donné envie d'apprendre à jouer des congas . Je l'ai d'abord connu par ses disques avec mes parents quand j'étais gamin. Les instrumentistes qui ont de génie servent à ça aussi ,donner envie aux autres de s'initier.

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL HIM: "EL REY DE LAS MANOS DURAS". EXCEPTIONAL PLAYER, DIRECTOR, PERCUSSIONIST, LEADER, ARRANGEMENT, ETC. ALWAYS LIKES PERFECTION AND ALSO WAS ABLE TO IMPROVISED, IF YOU WASN'T THERE, YOU WAS LOST ON THE COUNTS.

Thankyou, thank you, thak you...Ray is my all-time musical hero...!!!

I Love Ray Barretto!!!

Que grandeza del maestro de siempre Ray Barreto demostrando su sabiduría y conocimiento, sin olvidar que también era Drummer-Baterista, infinitas gracias Ray....paz a sus restos.

IF YOU DON'T FEELING, YOU DON'T HAVE IT.

This man it was just the best. People that are not musicians or percusionist or even lots of good talents out there do not understand that is not who is the faster or hits the hardest or how many drums. Is only one simple element and that is call rhythm. Now to add a few more adjectives. Is to be UNIQUE CREATIVE and SEND A MESSAGE WITH THE INSTRUMENT. Barreto which I get to have a few conversations in New York, never says about himself that He was the best. But was very strict to have the best quality in his presentations. How many conga players had the mix like He does in the past. All the cuban pioneers did not have the New York swing. They were more into all cuban rythms which Ray of course was influence in particular Chano Pozo and one of his best friend back in the day Mongo Santamaria. Giovani Hidalgo is consider the G.O.A.T, but if you ask him who was his inspiration He flat out tell you Ray Barreto. And his other mentors like Patato, Tata and his personal mentor and Friend Changuito. Ray is the only of 6 latinos or 5 I am not sure that are in the Hall of Fame of the Jazz called NEA. Ray use to say that Latin Jazz is not the correct concept that it should be called Jazz with Latino. He use to say that Jazz is just American. Basically to add the conga drums and other percusion intruments is an addtion. Is similar when Tito Puente use to hate the world salsa. He use to say that is ketchup not a music category. Even that I understand his point that what is called salsa is cuban music as foundation. But I do not agreed. I feel that salsa is a good name because if you listen to any group of cuban bands compare to Puerto Rico and New York you can not tell me is the same. Salsa is like a sofrito a mix of all those cuban ingridientes mix with the pop, soul rock boogaloo and others and came out like that, just listen to Fania All Stars and that is all you need to know. Just my opinion. At the end the puertorican musicians always give the credit to Cuba origins. Africa is the Grandmother Cuba is mother and NEw Yord all the children that spread all over the world.

Thank you so much for sharing this excellent concert!

💙🌸🌱😃

👍

Did Lp or any of these percussion companies made a ray Barreto signature 3 conga set or any at all ??

Je comprend pas pourquoi il faut être assis pour écouté la musique. C'est toxic quelque part. Tu dance parce que sa te fait vibrer. Perso moi assis sur une chaise non merci.

lets be honest That is why people TRY 2 steal our shyt...But that is why Chuck berry is better than the stones and the featles.

Good Morning Patrick
