My name is Amadito Valdes.
I am percussionist

:59:35
I use my father's name as he was
my source of inspiration

:59:39
I followed in his footsteps
:59:42
In the field of percussion,
the timbal is very limited

:59:48
Whoever plays it must be
very aware of that...

:59:54
...and use his imagination
:59:57
Because this is an instrument
which is rather limited...

1:00:01
...in its physical design,
you could say

1:00:05
It's a humble instrument
1:00:08
But one that lends
a lovely color...

1:00:11
...to popular dance music
1:00:41
My name is Manuel Mirabal Vazquez
better know as 'EI Guajiro'

1:00:46
I started playing at
the age 18

1:00:49
So I've been playing the trumpet
for 47 years

1:00:52
It was great playing with
all the compa?ros

1:00:56
If it hadn't been for the Buena Vista,
they would have been forgotten
