Calypso Dance Party With Candido, Calypso & Girl by Candido, released on ABC Paramount in 1957.

Like many albums made by Latin players during the 50s, this is kind of a straight Latin effort in parts, dressed up in Calypso guise to try to get higher sales. Johnny Carisi directed the whole project – and it would have a nice Latin jazz sound, were it not for the occasional intrustion of guests like The Twintones and Claudia Swann, who must be the "girl" in the title! Candido still gets in some nice licks at the right moments, though – and the best tracks drop the calypso for most of the groove. Titles include "Talking Drums", "The Search", "Like My Heart", "Murder In The Market", and "Linstead Market". - Dusty Groove

The Volcanic by Candido, released on ABC Paramount in 1957.

Candido's firey conga is backed by a tight jazz group conducted by Ernie Wilkins. The players include Art Farmer, Jimmy Cleveland, Hank Jones, and Ernie Royal, and although they don't get to solo much, they play nice and hard, and give Candido great support in the background. Tracks include "Lady in Red", "Warm Blue Stream", "Tin Tin Deo", "Kinda Dukish", and "Takeela". - Dusty Groove

Sorcery! by Sabu And His Percussion Ensemble, released on Columbia in 1958

Ambient Exotica wrote:

Sorcery! showcases the fully fleshed out vision of New York-bred conguero and percussionist Louis “Sabu” Martinez (1930–1979) who leads a nonet on this six-track opus congastium. It is released in 1958 on Columbia Records and comprises of anything but unique compositions, or better still, developments and progressions. Each of the concoctions is comparably long by Exotica standards and eminently vivid. Despite the screaming title and the premise of a largely percussion-focused album, the intrinsic darkness that reigns over the majority of the tracks is not intimidating, not even when Oriental tonalities are injected.

Afro Temple by Sabu Martinez , released on Grammofonverket in 1973.

Afro Temple Review by Thom Jurek

The final release of conga master Sabu Martinez is an out-in-the-psychedelic-ozone masterpiece. Featuring a politicized Martinez reciting poetry, his own manically exotic percussion ensemble, and a slew of reeds, woodwinds, and brass, this is a heady brew of poetry expressing Latino and indigenous pride, political indictments against the white man, and killer Afro-Cuban jazz. Think of Archie Shepp's Attica Blues or Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite done by Chano Pozo and you are getting the idea. The layers and layers of congas and djembe drums, the wailing saxophones à la Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, and swirling flutes played as if they were Eric Dolphy or Prince Lasha, hypnotically elocuting Martinez's poetic recitations -- after he's finished speaking..."
