Known as "El Pulpo", or the octopus (it is said his two handed drumming rivals the eight hands of four drummers), Joaquin Pozo is known for his singular style, a melodic approach to drumming that is neither unmatched nor unrivaled. A master conguero, Pozo takes refuge in his congas, or tumbadoras as they are known in Cuba, carving out a musical home with his rich and resonating sound, evoking both the secular and sacred.
