 Candido Camero: PART OF THE LP INNER CIRCLE
Born in 1921 in a Havana barrio, Candido is heralded as the father
of the technique of coordinated independence. He is credited with
pioneering the use of multiple congas, sometimes playing up to
three of them at a time when other congueros were playing a single
drum. Candido has performed with countless legends of music throughout
his lifetime, including Tony Bennett, Mario Bauza, Lena Horne and
Machito. Candido Camero has endorsed LP drums for many decades
and now The Master’s name appears on a very special drum.
Modeled after the LP Original Model Conga, the Candido
Camero Original
Model drums, available in Quinto, Conga, and Tumbadora, features a
shimmering white fiberglass shell and also a classic girth, which remains
unaltered since the inception of the Original Model in the sixties.
A special Candido Camero faceplate completes the image.
