As the man who basically brought the conga into the modern age with his innovative multi-percussion set-ups and tunable congas, and as a former member of Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Kenton's bands, Cándido Camero Guerra a.k.a. Candido already had a long and storied career when he cut Dancin' and Prancin' for the Salsoul label in 1979 at the age of 58. So, you might have been excused at the time for assuming this was just another case of an old-timer trying to cash in on the disco craze, right? But you would have been very, very wrong... The record was pure brilliance, as the infusion of Candido's Latin conga beats into the disco-fied 4 x 4 syncopated rhythm proved irresistible, revolutionizing the sound of underground disco while pointing the way to the house music to come. Indeed, both "Jingo" (an unstoppable version of the Olatunji classic) and "Thousand Finger Man" are still DJ favorites. Speaking of DJs, we're putting this one out on black vinyl, perfect for queueing up and spinning. For A must for any dance music library!
