Ramon Mongo Santamaria is undoubtedly one of the most respected percussionists and a pioneer of modern Latin Jazz. His career began in the 1950s with his group, the Blacks Cuban Diamonds. He has recorded dozens of legendary percussion albums. World hits like Watermelon Man in 1963 and the album "Summertime" in 1980 are just two hits among all the recordings by this master of percussion. Mongo has inspired more percussionists than any conguero in the world. Unfortunately, he passed away in February 2003, at the age of 85.
