Very Cool Aviva. Many moons ago, I playes batá drums at home (me being the only audience, hehehe) Bought a set in Havana in 1990 but VERY poor quality, Almost Balsa wood, for the tourists I guess. I have the Orú Cantado cassettes from Aguabella. Just dusted then and digitized into iTunes. Best regards, from Venezuela. CARLOSO
