Orlando "Puntilla" Ríos was a percussionist/vocalist well known in Cuba and the Americas as a master of the many Cuban musical folkloric forms. Born in Havana, Puntilla came to U.S. in 1981 with the Mariel boatlift, quickly changing the batá scene in New York single-handedly, becoming the new influence for American bataleros. When 'Puntilla' arrived in New York, he brought with him a wealth of knowledge of the profound folkloric music unique to Cuba and became a teacher and mentor to many. Ríos
