José “Perico” Hernández y Son de la Tierra play the full range of Afro-Cuban music, but for years Hernández has been a musician’s musician, performing on records and film soundtracks and playing gigs with other Latin bands. He led a charanga-style band called Charangoa, where he played congas and sang at Hollywood nightspot El Floridita. There, on Friday nights, many a great musician would stop by to see the master at work. In May 2002, he recorded Caravana Cubana, which features an all-star lineup of Cuban and Latin musicians—everyone from the Grammy-winning Cuban pianist Jesus Chucho Valdes and the singers in Bamboleo, to Miguel Anga Diaz and Jimmy Bosch.
