Most of us became familiar with Sheila E via Prince and her album The Glamorous Life.
The “E” in her name comes from her family name Escovedo, and the family is best known for afro cuban latin jazz percussion. Her father, Pete, is a percussionist. Tito Puente is her godfather. The musical family (brothers, uncles, cousins, etc.) has ties to Santana, and they’ve played and collaborated with numerous other artists.I love percussion, so this collection of cowbells, timbales, congas, bongos, and drums all played by experts is a fun show for me.
This show was part of a 1980’s series of concerts called “Jazzvisions: Made in America”
Enjoy!
