Tony Jimenez


Tony is seen in this photo with Frankie Malabe and
Eddie 'Gua Gua' Rivera in the background on bass.
No one would argue that this is a HEAVY rhythm section.

Tony Jimenez was one of the most complete, all-around percussionists in the history of salsa music. His career began in the late 1980s and was cut short by an untimely death in the late 1990s.

In that short period of time, he appeared on over twenty albums, accompanying Justo Betancourt, Tito Gomez, Junior Gonzalez, Andy Harlow, Larry Harlow, Orchestra Harlow, and Jose Mangual. He also worked with Julio Romero, Frankie Rodriguez, Eddie Rivera, Ruben Blades, and Milton Cardona.
