Bobby Sanabria, the multiple Grammy-nominated drummer and percussionist, says about the recording, “Now 50 years after it was released to the public, we honor Mario Bauz, Machito, and all of the musicians who participated on the original recording with KENYA REVISITED LIVE!!! Recorded live in concert, you’ll hear a new generation of players tackle this incredible music as it is re-worked with new progressive arrangements that reflect the current state of jazz virtuosity. Rejoice as the torch is passed to these young fire breathing dragons who have dedicated their lives to America’s greatest art form, jazz, and the branch of that art form that represents all of the America’s, Latin jazz.”
