Tonight, we paid tribute to the late, great Cuban rumbero/composer Raul Brito “Lali” of the seminal Cuban rumba group “Clave Y Guaguanco” who died of a heart attack earlier this month. Lali’s music has been played by artists such as Septeto Nacional De Ignacio Pineiro to John Santos and the Coro Folklorico Kindembo.
