‘Jingo’ is one of the, if not the, most memorable hook(s) in all of dance music and, as it was released back in the budding stage, it’s a proper testament to longevity and quality. Which isn’t surprising when you consider that Candido was a pioneer of Afro-Cuban jazz and the creator of the multiple percussion set up. ‘Jingo’ is perhaps his best known tune outside of jazz circles and this version highlights his conga playing and is a simultaneously languid and energetic piece of Afro Cuban disco that crosses over effortlessly and is maybe responsible for more bad backs and funny muscle mix ups from superannuated shape throwing than most other tunes.
