Latin conga player (conquero), bandleader, and salsa singer Filoberto Sanchez – born October 30, 1951, in Laredo, Texas – is better known by his stage name Poncho Sanchez. He is now acknowledged as one of the most influential percussionists in jazz. His family relocated to Norwalk, California, where he attended Cerritos College.

Sanchez auditioned for jazz icon Cal Tjader in 1975 and became a member of his band until Tjader’s death in 1982. Sanchez has also played or recorded with Clare Fischer, Mongo Santamaría, Art Pepper, Benny Golson, Tower of Power, Hugh Masekela, and others.
