Candido
Latin percussionist Candido was already succesful in the 1960's on the Bluenote
label. Signing to New York's Salsoul disco label in 1978 yielded two great
disco-jazz albums, the first of which includes the all-time disco classics
"Thousand finger man", "Jingo" and "Dancin' and prancin'".
The LP "Candi's funk" also includes "Samba funk" (released
on 12").
There is no US 12" of "Thousand finger man" although this was
released on Canadian Salsoul. The first UK 12" pressing of
"Jingo" was on Salsoul, but was soon re-released on the label
Excaliber.
