The next featured singer was Panamanian Camilo Azuquita, who began with Tumba Tumbador. But the energy really came back with Rudy Calzado’s spicy La Botija de Abuelito, featuring great work by Alfredo de La Fe and his magical violin. Azuquita concluded his participation with the classic Xiomara, where his daughter Janet joined him for some dancing together. His set was followed with Descarga 73, where Adalberto Santiago and Tito Allen returned onstage for the grand finale. And what a finale it was, with Orestes Vilató and Nicky Marrero on a battle of timbales, which I believe Orestes won easily. Nicky looked sluggish at times, and it didn’t help that he had a multi-drum set, compared with Vilató, who only had the standard two-drum set. Nevertheless, it was great to see these two master timbaleros together, in one stage. History at its best!
