Conjunto Jagüey – Colombia y Quisque se unen (2013)

'Conjunto Jagüey' was created just over a year by the Dominican master Pedro Cruz, bassist and arranger, and Colombian singer and composer Andrés Carabalí, both interested in keeping alive the roots of Antillean and Latin music. Cruz made musical studies with Ovidio Garcia and Johnny Colón, has worked for years in New York with artists like Lalo Rodriguez, Paquito Guzman, Tommy Olivencia, Cheo Feliciano and Johnny Pacheco. Carabalí has worked with several salsa bands as The Great Pinkie and Cano Estremera as vocalist. This album is the debut of 'Jagiiey' as a salsa group, in which two trumpets, piano, bass, three percussion (conga and bongo) and vocalists are integrated.
