Historia de un Ballet - guiro for Ochun

This is a short scene form Jose Massip’s documentary, ’Historia de un Ballet’. In this scene we witness a staged performance of a guiro for the orisha Ochun. Lázaro Ros the legendary akpwón is singing the lead vocal. Carlos is pictured seated in the middle playing the low conga drum with another drummer, Trinidad Torregrosa. Trinidad was one of the earliest and most important collaborators of Fernando Ortiz. He was also a founding member of CFN along with Carlos Jesus Perez and Lazaro Ros.
