Insane.

Man that is a smokin tune.

These Latin guys got something special.
He seems to hold his sticks so lightly.
I'm starting to dig the white coated heads again.

Youtube is amazing! What a different world
a kid has exposure to today interested in music.

great energy from the players. that clave through the entire song was like having an ice pick stabbing at your forehead. irritating.

[YamahaPlayer]

... any more irritating then the relentless 2 & 4 back beat in the extreme majority of American music?

Cultural differences. For that type of music, Clave IS the back beat.

[Kurtis]

Yamplayer. How do you say potato? Like potahhto or potayeto.

[Cheggs]

Great players/playing...terrible shirts.

to each their own...in my book that performance was flawless. this is probably the 4th time in a row I listen to it...

Anthony Jackson looks like a retard when he´s playing though...

I found the same video about a month ago and flipped out! I was on YouTube after a friend of mine had just been at a Rosenblatt clinic and it made me think of "On Fire", which I had first heard in my Freshman year of college. It was mind blowing then with Joel and it's STUPID with Horacio. This has just got colossal energy and it's a very inspired performance.
Yeah, the left foot clave is def not something we're used to hearing here in America, and it's always there, but it's a huge part of the
music and culture. I think it's marvelous. Not something I ever aspired to do, but I can dig it and the cats that do.
Great clip!!
And what's with the "retard" comment? Can we come up with a better way of describing a player? I mean, c'mon...

Agree. Not appropriate, relevant, and offensive.
