Biography
Rico Rodriguez was born Emmanuel Rodriguez on October 17, 1934 in Kingston, Jamaica). As a trombonist and composer he is among the founding figures of Jamaican popular music.
With roots in jazz as well as in the sound of African rooted burru drumming and so-called Rasta-chants Rico took part in developing Jamaican music from rhythm & blues to ska and reggae. Within this process he developed his own style, a combination of ska, reggae and jazz which reached an artistic peak with his album Man From Wareika in 1976. Jazz trumpeter Don Cherry once asked Rico: “How can you play like that … To play like you I had to go to Africa to learn.” (quoted by Hanafusa, 1998)
Rico performed worldwide and dedicated himself more and more to play with musicians from all over the world.

(Jamaican) Rico Rodriguez: a wizzard, a true creator, a soul whose song you love to hear. 'Africa' and so many other compositions = work of a genius.

Not too interested in a flame war - but surely if the trombone dude is called Rico Rodriguez then that's what he should be tagged with? Then both artists have their own pages...
