Songon by Songon
Influenced by John Enrico Douglas' years playing and recording Dominican, Cuban and Puerto Rican music with Radhy Montero y Su Orchesta and Elegua in Boston in the 1970s, and The L.A. Salsa Society, Bongo Logic and Charangoa in LA in the 1980s–90s, Songon plays John’s originals and his arrangements of cover songs in styles ranging from rumba, guajira, cha–cha and songo to straight-ahead Latin Jazz
