- (U)nity brought their exciting septet to congahead.com's studio in Montvale, NJ on Aug. 1, 2010 to record the tune Guarapachanga. The group was made up of Max Cudworth, alto sax; Lucas Pino-tenor sax; Mike Rodriguez-trumpet; Axel Tosca-keyboard; Amaury Acosta-drums; Chris Smith-bass; Pedro "Pedrito" Martinez-percussion
Listening to this during quarantine 2020. Doesn’t get old for me.
Im sad there wasn’t more Bata in the video. I have been playing for many years and i have never heard it with jazz. I love this combination. The vocals were mind blowing as well. Very good, amazing, magnificent.
There's a set with Pedrito.and.Wynton Marsalis that's super informative
I hadn't seen this before ! HOW TF DID I MISS THIS !?!?
Que vivan todos los Cubanos que andamos por el mundo y que viva la buena musica.
Bravo!
Asi es
Pedrito....oh man what can I tell you. You are a true Afro-Cuban hero. You keep the lament of our African ancestors alive
nine years later Pedrito hasn't aged at all. The hardest working maestro of afro cuban music, and one of the greatest of all time.
I listen to this song every rising 😌😌😌
This is top tier WOW
i have no idea who'd dislike this video. I've played it at least one hundred times. love it.
+Alexis Mitchell I've hit this at least 3 times in the last hour...Fantastic...
The plays a mean Sax ala Wayne Shorter, the trumpet player reminds me of Freeddy Hubbard, , just love it"""
Alexis Mitchell I’m sure haters dislike it
I swear, sis.
I didn’t dislike it but I guess some people don’t like that tooty toot toot noise from those musical blowing machines
This piece should have a million views. The musicianship is off the charts.
DE VERDAD QUE NO TENGO PALABRAS PARA DESCRIBIR LA SATISFACCIÓN QUE SENTÍ AL ESCUCHAR TAN SABROSAS IMPROVISACIONES, QUE GANAS DE PODER TENER ESA FACILIDAD PARA CREAR ASÍ. POR FAVOR NO PAREN Y SIGAN ADELANTE, LOS FELICITOOO!!!! SON LA ZORRA HERMANOS ;)
Still My Favorite ❤👑💎✅️💯.
BEAAAUUTTIIIFFUULLLL STILL EVEN 10yrs later!! TIMELESS
I've played this a thousand times it's my favorite Congo jazz ... Pedro Martinez is amazing
This is magic! Congrats to all the great musicians!
the only problem I have with congahead is theres too much music on here , thats tooo damn good to get round to watching it all , what a happy problem
Like this brilliant voice where else would I of ever heard it !!
La escucho hace más de 11 Años y sigue como si nada
I have yet to hear a single performance with Axel in it that is anything less than brilliant. A whole lot of music in him - and the great musicians here. Bravo, brother.
So true! He's a brilliant musician and composer. He is progressive and I like the way he fuses different genres with his Afro-Cuban background. Mad Genius!
Increíble!! Mis bendiciones desde Chile!!. Música honesta y sublime
These are musician folks. What execution by all. Pedrito is the nicest guy. We hung out with his group in Honolulu a few years back. Saw the at The Blue Note there. Man it was fun to see and hear live. But this is straight up fire. So good.
I'm going to say that there is chano pozo, thelonious, miles, the trane, dexter gordon, lester young and others' spirits around these young fellows...
This just shows how connected we are as humans . Everything else…
Wow I saw Axel in Melbourne like 10 years ago and this popped up. This is magnificent music!
Este arreglo esta complicado excellent.buena projecsion percusionista.sin dudas.por las estrellas esta magnificasion.gracias muchachos por el buen trabajo musical.bless..sinceramente.....
Martin Martin Martin!!!!!! Pedrito, Mr.Tosca.. amazing the whole team there.. saludos!!
wow, the creative energy, focus, style and motif are off the chart, new school at it's finest.

Thanks Martin for posting! Great arrangement! and kudos to Pedrito as always!!!

Stunning. Great playing all around.
This is not new it is they way it should be done. Thank you for keeping it Alive. This is the feel 100% of what Jazz radio use to be. GOD Bless
This video changed my life for real
@congahead1 Thanks for your kind thoughts. Your words drive me to create more videos with the best talent in the world. Keep watching.
Fantastic song! Fantastic musicianship! Especially the drum solo which is just truly inspiring... Love it!
I grew up listening to Latin Jazz...
Tito Puente, Cal Tjader, Poncho Sanchez, Giovanni Hidalgo and all the heavy weights, but this, this is far beyond that. PURE EVOLUTION. Great...
ja ja ja........ All those you mention copied from the Cubans..... IRAKERE.... CHANGUITO.... ANGA...TATA GUINE.... LOS PAPINES..... and many more....
A great performance, and flawless in terms of video production. Pedrito is such a powerful singer; really, everyone shines here.
Polyrhythms, Joruba Religious Music, Latin Jazz, Fusion and more. Great Rhythm section, Piano and the Horns were also great. I'm a Pianist and Bassist and would have loved to hear the Bass a bit louder. I wanted more, I guess I'll looking for Unity on the Web. Thank you! Great Job done by all!
AUHHHH ashe pa este proyecto. umoni ya tu sabes.... Axel, chris, Max, Lucas, Mike. auuuu... Amaury por ahi! esos son los palos GUARAPACHANG....... modupue el Africa. felicitaciones. exelente.

congahead is very beautiful! My relax is congahead!! love...
Great Jazz with Latin jazz overtones Pedrito Martinez on Conga and bata great horn players and Piano Bravo !
Afro jazz estilo cubano armonia metales y percusion estilo irakere de donde nacio este estilo de ejecusion el genero sigue siendo jazz americano con vertientes inconporadas de la musica cubana y su folklor fusion de rumba guaguanco y por supuesto la ultima tendencia polirritmica imcorporada de nuestro ultimo genero compuesto la timba ..
THIS ... is EXACTLY why i don't listen to everyday radio. This is MUSIC. AMO! : D
Esto es fenomenal gracias Pedrito Martínez buena interpretación y tremenda harmoniosa orquesta
percussion and reds sound very nice. thank you.
FANTASTIC!!!!!
I ain't hearing music like this enough, this is what should be popular instead of the sh.t they play on the radio everyday, that is why you can rely on LP's martincongahead founder of the LP percussion. Always bringing together the best talent!
Maximum Respect!!
Recently got this on vinyl, love it
Gorgeous grooves! Loved every vibe inside my mind and soul!
Love it.Soothing!
Straight up blast! Keep it coming!

Maravilhoso conceito rítmico !! Lindíssima composição !! Bravíssimo !!!!!
Mis respetos, eres un monstruo hermano. Sigue haciendo mas de esa buena musica.
Man... I wish I could be part of a band like this. I already have the sunglasses. 😎
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Woooow!!!
Preciosa ejecución y una voz increible....No sé si me equivoco, pero el primero en usar ese concepto de tocar los tres batás a la vez fue Angel "cachete" Maldonado.
No doubt Pedrito Martinez isd one of the greatest Afro-Cuban conga/singer player. Amazing musician. Thanks Pedrito for bringing Afro-Cuba with you all the time. Thanks.
I LOVE IT INCREDIBLE ARENGMENT . JUST MAGNIFICO .
Still listening in 2020, great!!!
beautiful composition!
Marvellously done!

Awesome music and musicians. The bata player and singer of oriki is great!
Man this is really good!
Excelente! Tremendo concepto...
Omg i love this song
These musicians ROCK & are classic
felicidades,,,esto es riquisimo
Omg i sooooooooo love this song
Great track. The more often I listen to it, the better it becomes. I already melt at the intro Rhodes chord-opening, how full spirit/soul the playing of Axel Tosca... They all do a great job, for example, the sax solo by Max Cudworth (?) -- so dreamy and jazzy.
The only thing that I think of now that would have been better is if the quite vigourous singing by Pedrito would start later in the song, to keep the mellow soft energy longer during the intro.
Wow what a genius band and the drummer was in his zone around the 8 minute mark onwards
the best channel in youtube!
muy bueno, y me hace acordar de cosas muy bonitas
What a talent, may we see each other at the top my Brother!
This is so so so good, nobody asked but they play B Section of "The Return Of The Prodigal Son" from Brian Blade´s Fellowship band, amazing band, amazing tune and very well called in this session!
Sublime.
