Pedrito Martinez Group February 9, 2011

"Since arriving in the United States at the end of the 1990s, the Cuban percussionist Pedro Martinez has been all over the place, putting rumba and guaguanco into the weave of all kinds of groups. But when his drums, singing and writing are the focus - as is the case in his new band, which plays complex, blenderized Africa-to-the-New-World funk - he's an incomparable performer." -Ben Ratliff, New York Times
