- Agrupación Cubano- Latina residente en USA.
Pedro Pablo "Pedrito" Martinez was born in Havana, Cuba, Sept 12, 1973. He began his musical career at the age of 11, performing as vocalist and percussionist with such Cuban legends as Tata Guines and Munequitos de Matanzas. He was brought to Canada in 1998, by Jane Bunnett, to tour with her group, Spirits of Havana. His decision to remain in North America to pursue his career, proved to be an auspicious one when, two years later, the annual Thelonious Monk Institute Competition showcased Afro-Latin Hand Drumming for the first time ever. Pedro entered and won first place.
Since settling in New York City in 2,000, Pedrito has performed, recorded, and/or toured with Paquito D'Rivera; Brian Lynch; Steve Turre; Me'shell Ndege'Ocello; Eddie Palmieri; Bill Summers and Los Hombres Calientes; Arturo "Chico" O'Farrill; Stefon Harris; Bebo Valdés; Cassandra Wilson; Joe Lovano, and Sting, (for his rainforest benefit, with Elton John and Bruce Springsteen). Pedro was also featured in 2,000, in the documentary film on Cuban music, Calle 54.
Mr. Martínez was a founding member of the highly successful, Afro-Cuban/Afro-Beat band,Yerba Buena with which he recorded two albums and toured the world opening for the Dave Matthews Band, Willie Nelson and Ray Charles.
Pedrito has also lent his talents to over one hundred records, including albums by Paquito d'Rivera, Issac Delgado, Eliane Elias, Stefon Harris, Steve Turre, Eddie Palmieri, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Conrad Herwig , Edie Brickell and many others. These include six records that have been Grammy® nominated and one, a collaboration between Eddie Palmieri and Brian Lynch, called "Simpatico", that was awarded a Grammy®.
The Pedrito Martinez Group has its roots planted firmly in the Afro-Cuban rumba tradition and in the bata rhythms and vocal chants of the music of Yoruba and Santeria. With its formation in 2008, the group has developed into an extraordinarily tight and musically creative unit. With a home base gig in Midtown Manhattan the group has built a fan base that includes Steve Gadd, Dave Weckel, Anton Fig, Steve Jordan Taj Mahal, John Scofield, Eric Clapton, Roger Waters, Zigaboo Modeliste, Wynton Marsalis, Derek Trucks, and Herlin Riley.
Pedro "Pedrito" Martinez, from Havana, on percussion and vocals; percussionist, Jhair Sala, from Lima, Peru; electric bassist, Alvaro Benavides, from Caracas, Venezuela; and Axel Tosca keyboard player/vocalist, from Havana, Cuba.

I can never get over how sick this jam is. I listen to it several times a year to ground myself and cleanse my sonic palate.
That's exactly how I proceed as well. I don't think people realize the power of this jam !
Pure unadulterated music ❤

Alguien podría decirme en qué idioma canta cuando dice que le va a cantar a los orishas????????
Lenguaje yoruba, la religión viene de Nigeria y se funciona con el catolicismo
arturo zons Yoruba o Lucumí de Nigeria.
ÑAÑIGO , SECRETO DE ABAKUA ?
Que ritmo es ?
Songo
Does anyone know what he is saying in the intro part? sounds something like "mima, who got the key to my mima" ?
It's homage to the Beenieman song where he says "who's got the keys to my Bima"=BMW
Como se llama este ritmo?
Songo!
Does anyone have the lyrics to this? I can't them online.
+TheftyGamer You likely won't. It is half in Spanish and half in Yoruba, you can look up elegua and you might find some phrases used here in Yoruba.
Kevin Pereira Dang!
Overall, the song is a cover of Los Van Van's merensongo "Qué palo es ese", featured in the orchestra's 1983 album "¡Qué Pista!, so you can search for those lyrics for a reference. But, as most live Pedrito performances i've seen around here, this one is a lively mashup of different lyrical references.
The first part, that sounds like a warming up with the bass groove is a reference to the main chorus in Beenie Man's "Who Am I":
1) "Mimma, who got the keys to my Beamer?"
Then it goes to the main chorus of the Van Van's song:
"Qué palo es ese, mayombero
Qué palo"
And then a free interpretation of the original Van Van first verse:
"Oye mi paso vence la batalla
mi palo es un palo vencedor (x2)
Oye palo ?oduro?
palo de guayaba
palo pa' que aprendas
que con Cuba no se juega."
Then the chorus again, with the original ending:
"Lleva,
lleva,
que mi palo es vencedor".
As Kevin has pointed out, there is the Lucumí (Liturgical Yoruba) chant to the Santería deity Eleggua, that i wouldn't know how to transcribe. Pedrito does some explaining in spanish "ahora vamos a cantarle a Eleggua" (we're now going to sing to Eleggua) and also "eleggua es un santo bastante conflictivo, por eso vamos a cantarle así" (eleggua is a very tricky saint, so we're going to sing like this).
But just as its about to return to the main chorus, theres some spanish:
"Elegua dame la bendición"
(Qué palo es ese...)
"Garabato de guayaba"
(Qué palo es ese...)
"Oye maferefun elegua" [Lucumí prase that translates to "give me blessings, eleggua"]
then the "¡Tumba!" break part goes to a shoutout of a Reggaeton hit called "Pásame la botella".
En fin. Hope this was of any use. Greetings!
