Edgardo Cambón is a Uruguayan-born singer who fell in love with percussion after setting aside guitar and getting early exposure singing as a young boy. As a teacher band leader and Latin music business man now, Edgardo continues to perform. His musical career has taken him throughout South America, Europe, and Africa. Since1986, he's been in high demand in the U.S.

In this two-part conversation, we cover his career, his love of music and how he discovered drums by treating his guitar first as a percussion instrument. Edgardo brought a unique vision of his music to the U.S. and we talk about his artistic process and current musical endeavors in part 2 of the conversation. Watch for that continuing part 2 of this episode in May.
