Concerto For Percussion
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
This is percussion as lead voice, not accompaniment. Estévez Jr. steps forward on vibraphone and timpani while Julio Andino's orchestra swings hard behind him in mambo and rumba rhythms. The 1950s Latin scene was alive with this kind of energy—dancers in Havana, New York, and across the Caribbean knew these grooves by heart. The concerto format brings concert elegance, but the spirit is pure dancefloor. Bright brass charts, crisp clave rhythms, and Estévez's conversations with his instruments create genuine spectacle. This 10-inch original is scarce and highly sought by serious collectors. The combination of rarity, musicianship, and that golden-age Latin sound makes it essential for anyone pursuing the deeper cuts of mid-century tropical music.
