Mark Dimond

Mark Dimond has been played on NTS shows including Mild Animals, with Yo No Tengo Pena first played on 6 October 2017.

Brujeria CD (Fania / Emusica - Remastered Edition 130 123), Released 1971; Re-Issued 2006

I am a considerable admirer of the inventive African American pianist, arranger and composer Mark "Markolino" Dimond and arch vocal stylist Angel Canales. Despite appearances this was Dimond's debut as a leader initially issued in 1971 under the title Brujeria on the Vaya label…Larry Harry and Johnny Pacheco were the co-producers and co-recording directors and Harvey Averne was the executive producer. Larry wrote in the liner notes to Brujeria: "I first heard Mark 'Markolino' Dimond play three years ago with a new band called Willie Colón y su Orchestra. At that time I thought, 'One day he will have a band of his own.' That day has come. Conjunto Sabor is Mark's band. He has written all the music, lyrics and arrangements for this album. It is all Mark Dimond. His piano playing, a cross between typical Cuban and progressive jazz, is superb. He has chosen Angel Canales for his singer. Although it is Angel's first recording, you would have to look very far to top his performance." It is an understatement to say Brujeria / Mas Sabor is Highly Recommended; it is absolutely essential!
