Luisito Quintero

"MASACOTE" Album
Congas, Drums

Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Luisito was surrounded by Afro-Venezuelan rhythm and music.  His father, a respected percussionist in his native country, tutored and encouraged Lusito on timbales through his adolescent years.  Luisito then continued his studies at the respected Orquesta Simfonica de Venezuela, and his timbale technique soon garnered attention from his colleagues.  He joined the popular music ensembles Grupo Guaco and El Trabuco Venezolano, and later traveled extensively with Oscar D'Leon, where he enjoyed widespread worldwide exposure.

 

 


Among Luisito's live playing credits and recordings are work with the late Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Marc Anthony, Gloria Estefan, Richard Bona, Horatio Hernandez, and countless other high-profile music acts.

Today, Luisito is an established and respected musician, band director, and master percussionist, and continues to push the boundaries of his craft.
