The Machito Orchestra pioneered the use of the percussive trio -- congas, bongos, and timbales – as permanent members of the ensemble – complementing the bass and piano, now the standard in Latin music. What makes a Latin rhythm section work? How do the members work together to drive the music? Mario Grillo (Machito, Jr.) and the Machito Orchestra Rhythm Section discuss their roles, offer tips for improvement, and answer your questions. Open to everyone. No instruments are needed. Hosted by percussionist Annette Aguilar.
