Please Help Changuito!

On behalf of KoSA International Percussion Workshops and Festivals, we are reaching out to our firends to ask for your help for one of KoSA's esteemed Faculty members who really needs help.


The reknown and respected artist "Changuito" is in dire need of funds to be able to adapt to a very difficult new reality in his life.


With one leg amputated due to complications of diabetes, Changuito needs medical equipment to move around in his small apartment as well as a working refrigerator which has recently broken down adding to his woes and increasing further his financial problems.


Any amount you can give will be most appreciated by Changuito and his family. Please click on the button below which will take you directly to KoSA Music's secure donation page. Once received, these funds will be immediately remitted to Changuito himself by KoSA Communications.




See below two great short videos of Changuito in action!

He is responsible for the rhythm called "songo" and he is a Grammy-winning artist and a major exponent of Cuban music world wide and a major influence and teacher to other great artists of our time, Giovanni Hidalgo and Karl Perazzo to name but a few.
