[@jfender8023]

A polo lican who hung out in Cuba with his bandmates Batacumbele and metsican love CUBAN PERCUSSION. Unfortunately its not in sync just a whole lotta of look at me without the clave. The Anglo audiance loved it and couldnt tell a difference LOL

[@antonioambrosino2216]

INSUPERABILI

[@toolguyslayer1]

It's Giovanni Hidalgo and Steven Seagal with a personality and good hair LOL

[@jesusrivera743]

Solamente los Santos ganan

[@willymiranda5537]

Proud to be of 50% Latin blood / it is in the blood / the GERMAN blood messed me up / only half as good ⁉️HA HA LOL 😂🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁😎

[@leovigiloesparza7412]

Cuando un conguero afortunado se acerca al dios de la conga, esto es lo que pasa. Raúl no tenía ni la técnica ni el vocabulario musical de Giovanni, siempre que estaban juntos, gio lo hacía pedazos.

[@louiecolon9494]

Raul. big loss to the drumming world. great percussionist with the great Giovanni Hidalgo,

[@ElizaMarca2023]

No sé vale meter palos y tratar de sobre salir para de mostrar ser bueno ya los dos en ese momento eran de edad mayor y no es competencia un talento de cada uno
