| In 1953, RodrÃguez moved to New York, leaving his conjunto in Cuba under the guidance and leadership of trumpeter Chappotin, who would later become a legend in his own right. |
| He is considered father of the conjunto, an instrumental line up that was revolutionary for is time because it introduced the conga drum, which had previously been considered forbidden due to its African origin. |
| With absolutely no information provided, the listener will have to guess at many of the details surrounding this excellent recording by a Mexican conjunto. |
