Watermelon Man - Christmas 1962
Don't Bother Me No More

Mongo Santamaria

Born 7th April 1922 - Havana, Cuba [Jesus Maria]

Died 1st February 2003 - Miami, Florida

This single was often played at the first Twisted Wheel - Mambo rhythms intertwined soul, jazz and blues; a great dance track!

Originally by Herbie Hancock, 'Watermelon Man' was a big hit for Mongo (unfortunate first name)  Santamaria in early 1963. A Cuban with a fantastic sense of rhythm.
