Carlos "Patato" Valdes
Carlos Valdés (November 4, 1926 – December 4, 2007), better known as Patato, was a Cuban-born American conga player. In 1954 he emigrated from La Habana to New York City where he continued his prolific career as a sideman for several jazz and Latin music ensembles, and occasionally as a bandleader. He invented and patented the tunable conga drum which revolutionized the use of the instrument in the US.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pmrecords.com/Patato/Master.shtml )〕 Tito Puente once called him "the greatest conguero alive today".〔(Carlos 'Patato' Valdes ), Artdrum.〕
==Nicknames==
Like most Cuban musicians, Carlos Valdés had several nicknames throughout his artistic career. Early on he was known as "El Toro" (''The Bull'') as a young dancer and boxer. In school he was known as "Patato" (''Potato'') due to his short stature; more despectively he was known as "Remache" and "Tampón de bañera" around his neighbourhood. While playing alongside Armando Peraza in Havana's Zombie Club, he was known as "El Zombie", "Zombito" or "Pequeño Zombie" (''Little Zombie''). Due to his dancing style he was known as "Pingüino" (''Penguin''). Nonetheless, "Patato" was the name that stuck and he carried this pseudonym to the US, where he was often miscredited as "Potato Valdez". 〔
