Remembering Patato: Patato and me... I was first introduced to the late great Patato Valdez by one of my dearest friends 💖 @ismaelbongobruno (BRUNO !!!!!!!) We enjoyed many joyful late nights of cerebral music, delicious homemade Cuban Food compliments of Patato, and plenty of laughs... 😂 😂 😂 There were many serious and heartfelt conversations about his life as well. 😥🤔 May he rest in peace. 🙏🏽 @iamgabrisan @haitilegends About Carlos Valdés, better known as Patato, was a #Cuban-born American conga player. In 1954 he emigrated from La Habana to New York City where he continued his prolific career as a sideman for several jazz and Latin music ensembles, and occasionally as a bandleader."
