Cuba is an inexhaustible source of percussionists and the "rumba" is its essential expression. This musical movement was born in the slave cabins and the marginal districts between Matanzas and La Havana. In the 'Vedado' district of Havana we find Angel González Vila, a rumba "ecué" (friend), surrounded in drums, bongo, batá and Brazilian instruments, inclusive with instruments invented by himself. He passed his life without a lot of ambitions, loyal to his drums: "my task is go and play for anyone who called, I'm living amidst the drums since my childhood. I'm comfortable playing in a carnival, with a big star or in a Latin Jazz setting. It's all the same to me."
Angelito was born in October 8th, 1949 in Cerro district, an aristocratic zone before it became a shelter for marginal people and "rumberos". He belonged to several "comparsas" as Los Componedores de Batea or La Jardinera, among others. In 1970 he became a member of the musical group 'Orchestra Keleyá'.
Before the end of the decade, in 1976, Angelito joined the Conjunto Folklórico Nacional and Obdulio Morale's Orchestra until 1988 when Sergio Vitier created the group Oru in which Angelito participated until 1998. "The Experience with the Oru crowd -Angelito remembers- was very nice because the music became more contemporary. He has performed with big stars as Rogelio Martínez Furé and Orlando López (Cachaíto). The idea was make a tribute to the legendary "rumbero" Jesús Pérez. The name Oru means game and the music is a game of sounds. I substituted Tata Güines in this crew."
Angelito has worked with Merceditas Valdés, the little "Aché" who came from the Fernando Ortíz's confraternity. She always hired veteran musicians. Also Angelito was playing in the Orchestra Varona (Varona had performed with Beny Moré and Irakere), with Orchestra's Nicolás Reinoso, and playing contemporary sounds with Gonzalito Rubalcaba in the jam-sessions in the Festival of Jazz Plaza.
Angelito explains: "I recognize that I have some passion for the Latin Jazz, and I did some stuff with musicians like Changuito, Miguel Angá, Enrique Lazaga and Frank Emilio". This was the reason he joined the Canadian jazz-man Jane Bunnet with whom he traveled across USA during 1966, in the middle of salsa explosion.
Angelito had accompanied a lot of very valuable voices, such as Xiomara Alfaro, or the great Beatriz Márquez, well-known as "La Musicalísimá", but he doesn't have a problem performing for anyone, anywhere, as for him it's the same to play in a carnival or to play in a wake. Angelito is almost a luthier, an inventor or percussion instruments, for example a drum using -in stead of a membrane- a piece of wood. "I invented it in 1988 due to necessity, to economize on the skins because they are too expensive". Angel also gives lessons to the foreigners who are looking for the essence of rhythm.
This album bears the name of "Ecué Tumba" (tumbador friend) because it was recorded with just four members playing two tumbadoras, one cajón, one bongó and one catá. The singer is Pedro Celestino Fariñas from 'Los Muñequitos de Matanzas' (renown folkloric musical group). On percussion we find Gilberto Crespo "El Chato", he is a teacher from the Mariano Caturla's Music school. The other percussionist is Alfredo Lafita, who also manufactures musical instruments, as Angelito does, and has an extensive musical career.
