He introduced La Lupe.

In the U.S. anyway. (Sorry, I'm teaching as I learn.)

Anyway, I'm sadly unfamiliar with Mongo Santamaria, but it seems inevitable that I will be listening to him sooner or later.

That sucks. :( Mongo is great, I have an old live album of his on vinyl that I like a lot. Afro-Blue!!!

wtf is that flyer up there? and what relevance does "fidel castro lover" have unless implication is that mongo and fidel were lovers?

ah fuckit. Mongo was great - I was bummed upon hearing of his death, another artist never got to see perform. Rockist Scientist, if you want to check out more Mongo, the Rhino "Skin on Skin" anthology is probably the best place to start as the albums can be uneven and there is quite a bit of repetition. La Lupe is one song there which is fab, but only thing i Know of hers.

Flyer was found in New York City. See http://www.ubu.com/found_frames.html
