"Jingo" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Candido

"Jingo" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Candido

Candido is a Cuban-born percussionist who began working in music with Afro-Cuban and jazz acts. Eventually his talent lead him into 70's disco music and on the classic Salsoul label.

His LP "Dancin' and Prancin"" from 1979 was a moment in disco history that sprinkled the magic of Candido's bongos and percussion directly where it was needed - the dance floor. It was produced by Joe Cain. "Jingo" is a single that did quite well and inspired a few remakes in the 80's.

The track sounds familiar to a track that would be created on the Kebekelektrik project produced by Pat Deserio - because of the mysterious winding keyboards.
