Salvador Agüero "Rabito"

Mexican drummer, percussionist. For Salvador Agüero, aka Rabito, music has been his companion from his early days, when his father took him to XEW. The impact of discovering big band drummer Jim Krupa and jazz rhythms motivated him to prepare for and gain admission to the Free School of Music. As a professional drummer, Rabito has worked with prominent musicians like Frank Rosolino, Clare Fisher, Juan García Esquivel, and Dámaso Pérez Prado, among others. Two jazz greats, Dave Brubek and Oscar Peterson, hired him to play in recording sessions. His collaboration with Chilo Morán, in 1962, was special, attaining a level of excellence which made them the first jazz ensemble to perform at México City's famed Fine Arts Palace.
