About the Artist
Henri « Kiké » Guédon was a pioneer in the 1960’s Latin scene in Paris in modernizing the conception of Cuban music, forgetting about old fashioned mambos and cha-cha-chas and bringing descargas, 60’s guaguancos, guajiras and boogaloos straight from New York.

Largely inspired by the impact of Roberto Roena from Cortijo y su Combo, Mongo Santamaria, Tito Puente, and Ray Barretto, Guédon first shocked French audiences in the 60’s when he started putting drums in front of all other instruments on stage and playing them louder.

Product Description
"Kiké" Guédon, French West Indian percussionist, has been playing for more than 40 years, ranging from Afro Cuban to Antillean and African styles. This album strictly highlights his earlier Latin works of the late 60’s and early 70’s.
