Musician of Jazz and Latin
A.k.a. Carlos Vidal Bolado
Carlos Vidal Bolado (1914–1996) was a Cuban conga drum musician and was one of the original Machito and his Afro-Cuban boys. Bolado (better known simply as Carlos Vidal) holds the double distinction of being the first to record authentic folkloric Cuban rumba (Ritmo Afro-Cubano SMC 2519-A and 2520-B, circa 1948) and the first to play congas in Latin jazz (with Machito and his Afro-Cubans).There is not much written on Carlos Vidal except for discography credits. He is credited with participating on many Jazz albums.
