El Mostro Orlando Santiago with Hiram Martinez: "Nuestra Tradicion"

Composition: "Para Conservar Nuestra Tradicion" by Hiram Martinez (guitar, vocals, composer), Cuatro solos- Orlando "El Mostro" Santiago. Reynaldito (age 18) bongo. Casual Christmas in July gathering in the back porch of Angel & Josefina Rodriguez' home in Lorain Ohio on a sweltering 95 + degree day. Hiram Martinez composed this song which speaks of the importance of preserving Puerto Rican Cultural Traditions (especially the musical folkloric genres of Puerto Rico). Angel Rodriguez on guiro is not a musician (he was simply inspired to spontaneously pick up the gourd for this impromptu video). Hiram and Orlando Mostro Santiago are based in Northern Ohio (Cleveland and Lorain respectively) originally hail from Coamo, Puerto Rico. These young titans humbly demonstrate unlimited possibilities and are ready to spread their messages of joy and virtuosity throughout the world.
