Born in 1921 in a Havana barrio, Candido is heralded as the father of the technique of coordinated independence. He is credited with pioneering the use of multiple congas, sometimes juggling up to three of them at a time when other congueros were playing a single drum. Candido has performed with countless legends of music throughout his lifetime, including Tony Bennett, Mario Bauza, Lena Horne and Machito. Candido Camero has endorsed LP drums for many decades and now The Master’s name appears on a very special drum.

Modeled after the LP Original Model Conga, the Candido Camero Original Model drums, available in Quinto, Conga, and Tumbadora, features a shimmering white fiberglass shell and also a classic girth, which remains unaltered since the inception of the Original Model in the sixties. A special Candido Camero faceplate and drumhead complete the image.
