A conga god: Daniel Ponce beats his drums with an attitude
Filed Oct 09, 2006 at 9:36 PM ·
I went to hear him there one night this summer, with the Triff trio. The sprezzatura was there, though with less hauteur. And he still had that same way of making the beats explode both on the drumhead and inside the listener's body.
I have heard the masters: Barretto, Santamaría, Virgilio Martí, Giovanni Hidalgo, Francisco Aguabella, Patato Valdez, Candido -- and Tata Güines on record and Changuito on video. Each was awesome in his own way. But Daniel Ponce is touched by the gods.
