Wilson "Chembo" Corniel
Master of the Tumbadoras
Corniel is a percussion colourist who stands head and shoulders above most of his peers. His great artistry is informed by his flawless technique, which he embellishes with his consummate taste. In fact Corniel is almost akin to an ancient druid who has some magical connection to the very force of nature that produces the echoes that pass through the gauntlet of time itself. In this regard, this time around Corniel has surpassed himself with one of his most enduring albums. — Raul da Gama, Latin Jazz Networ
