075: Edwin Bonilla (Gloria Estefan, Cachao, Celia Cruz, Arturo Sandoval)

Edwin Bonilla started his musical journey playing rock and
R&B on drum kit, but as a teenager he transitioned to
timbales, bongos, and congas. He developed an aggressive,
hard-hitting style that brought him to the attention of legends
such as: Celia Cruz, Arturo Sandaval, and Stevie Wonder. He is
perhaps best known, though, for his decades-long run with Gloria
Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine. Joe caught up with Edwin
before a recent performance of Estefan's hit Broadway musical, On
Your Feet.
