Also known as: Candido Camero, Cándido de Guerra Camero
Cándido Camero Guerra, known simply as Cándido, was a Cuban conga and bongo player. He is considered a pioneer of Afro-Cuban jazz and an innovator in conga drumming. He was responsible for the embracing of the tuneable conga drum, the first high-profile congero to use multiple congas in combos, developing playing skills and techniques still widely used by percussionists, as Camero also assembled his own unique setup with congas, bongos, and other instruments, and a stand-attached guiro, all played by one percussionist. Thus, he was an innovator in the realm of Latin multi-percussion setups, and many high-profile Latin percussionists point to Cándido as a mentor.
