Chilcano - Samba Landó
More from Chilcano!
Chilcano - Moche
This piece was one of our hits in Chilcano. We performed this jam in Peru - in Lima and Cuzco. Then we went to Macchu Pichu! The beat is a slow Marinera / Zamacueca. Tono Vilchez would do his Lando Tap routine to this track (see Lando Tap video). I originally composed this tune in 2008 and played it with a band in Madison, WI. The intro is taken from the original bass intro played by Kevin Knapp.
Lando Tap
I played every week for the better part of a year with Antonio Vilchez, a percussionist and tap dancer from Lima, Peru. We did a tour together in Peru and I got to continue to learn lots of great things about the cajón and where it comes from.
