Timeline

1931

Manny Oquendo (January 1, 1931 – March 25, 2009) was an American percussionist of Puerto Rican ancestry.

His main instruments were the timbales and the bongos.

1940

Oquendo's timbales solos were famous for their sparse, straightforward típico phrasing, reminiscent of the Cuban timbaleros of the 1940s.

According to musician and producer Juan de Marcos González, Oquendo's tuning of the timbales was comparable to that of Silvano "Chori" Shueg.

Oquendo's solos also incorporated the rhythmic language of the folkloric quinto, the lead drum of rumba.
