- In this interview, I decided to just let Andy Gonzalez and Manny Oquendo talk shop. Manny, who was hard of hearing and did not want to participate initially and said he just wanted to sit in, decided otherwise, as you can hear. Andy beautifully involved him in such a way, he did not even notice it! ;) Here, they talk Latin dance music in the 40's, being paid for scale, Chano Pozo, Tito Puente, Machito, Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez, Miguelito Valdes, the Brothers Morales, Pupi Campo, the dance- halls, like the Palladium, the Audubon Ballroom, the Gloria Palace, Versailles, and much more. I just took it all in, like a kid in the candy-store. Two humble giants, both of them, with such a wealth of experience and information, all wrapped into their love of Latin music!
Two of the most unappreciated Virtuosos and Pioneers of the Salsa movement.
Yes indeed, these two geniuses were so unpretentious and sweet and wholly dedicated to their art and their music - in spite of their compromised health, Andy's especially! One of my most cherished interviews!
@@politicsofrhythm I tell you what...Thank you,so much for this precious piece of history and amazing jewel.

Wow truly two of the best musicians of all times. God blessed us all with these talented people, they brought us so much joy in the midst of this sometimes troubled world🙏💥♥💥♥
Sorry, I missed your comment. Yes indeed! And they still do give us joy, in an even more troubled world, today!
Obrigado amigo.
Rest in peace this two incredible musicians.
MANNY OQUENDO, WAS MY FIRST TIMBAL TEACHER FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. I ANDY, WAS ALSO A FRIEND AND MENTOR BY WAY OF THE JOHNNY COLON MUSIC SCHOOL AND CONJUNTO LIBRE. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THESE GUYS AND APPRECIATE THEIR LESSONS AND TALENT TILL TODAY. THANKS MANNY AND ANDY, FOR THE LESSONS AND YEARS OF GREAT MUSIC. YOU TAUGHT ME WELL. RIP GENTLEMAN.
That's amazing and good for you to have been taught by such Masters! I fell in love with them after just spending a few hours with them. At first, Manny did not want to be interviewed, so I told him ok, just come and watch Andy's interview. Within minutes of that interview he chimed in and before you knew it, he was on a roll...Such sweet souls, such talents!
Thanks for sharing this video. Un gran abrazo desde España. Andy and Manny are two true legends in latin music!
Andy and Manny you guys are how we say in Spanish Leyendas de la musica Latina.
Yes they are!
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing. Andy and Manny were great together.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Great interview. May they rest with the God.
Thank you and I am certain they are!
Dos gigantes de la música latina, dos maestros, dos ejemplos de la sencillez y prudencia. Thank you for this jewel.
Yes, two giants for sure! And the sweetest, most humble people to boot!
Gracias ❤❤

Tremendo!
Lastima que no pudi haber si en castellano o traducido
What an absolute treasure! LONG LIVE Andy & Oquendo!
They do! Through their brilliant music!
@@politicsofrhythm ..absolutely! Actually there isn't a day that goes by that i don't listen to Oquendo(early works) so he stays with me
4:46 They were..NOT they was.
Can't find the continuation of that question about the dancers then and now. Is it coming?
I just published the continuation, Abraham. Just so you know, I am publishing clips from interviews that will eventually be featured in my documentary. Please understand, that until I know exactly what material I am using, it will be random clips that I think are of interest to the public, but which I know are too extensive to use in the doc.
@@politicsofrhythm ok great!
Thanks From My❤
