Title: Mongo Santamaria – La BambaYear/Genre/City: 1967, Latin Jazz, New York City, NYMatrix #: CS 9175Condition: VG+++ Cultural Facts: Scene Ecology: A Havana-born percussionist who became a NYC bandleader—Latin jazz living between uptown clubs and mainstream label distribution. Media Narrative: “Watermelon Man” was his crossover calling card, a case study in Afro-Cuban players reshaping U.S. pop/jazz audiences. Studio Lore: Sessions like this were built on groove discipline—tight horn charts over percussion-heavy takes aimed at dancers as much as jazz heads. 2/6/26 LM
