everything from congas to timbales. When it comes to timbales, he credits
Willie Bobo as a prime influence. Nowadays Eddie Rivera plays with
a band that mixes salsa and charanga, appropriately called The Charansalsa
Band. Their first album was released in June 2008, and was entitled
Para Bailar E Gozar.
