Carlos Mena brings us The Afro Cuban Bata Experiment, a project that is very personal as encompasses his devotion to his Lucumi faith and his passion for bata drums. The first single from the project is called Aganyu and pays homage to the Orisha he was initiated to many years ago. He has enlisted an all-star cast which includes legendary Cuban singer, Lazaro Galaragga and Master Percussionist, Michael Spiro. As if that weren't enough heavyweight jazz drummer Marcus Gilmore (Chick Corea) and Super Bassist Burniss Earl Travis (Robert Glasper) are on board to provide the the swing on both mixes.
