Tatomania

Featuring the music of Chucho Valdes
Duration: 04:25

"Tatomanía," by master Afro-Cuban pianist Chucho Valdés and backing trio, is a joyride in which the band literally never skips a beat. Valdés retains all the compositional freshness, percussive flare, and latin/jazz/classical influences that made him stand out for 60-plus years. On this piece, named after his percussionist, Roberto Jr. Vizcaíno Torre—or simply “Tato”—it’s the blended blur of bongos and drum kit that makes the music riveting. The entire album, Cuba and Beyond, merited a Grammy award nomination in 2024. Valdés also was named a U.S. 2025 National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master.
