Undisputed Gentle King of Bata
Years ago, he was hailed "Aguabella is the John Coltrane of the Conga Drums.” -- Dizzy Gillespie

My tribute to Francisco Aguabella By Kim
A whisper to announce his song
A genius filled blessed with greatness and charm
Voices of angels called his name
All too soon his departure came
A kind smile and pause before he began
Hold on to your seats
Artistry, glory, euphoria will fan
Sweeping the space
Cleansing the land
With the percussive beat of his hand
Bata was the instrument of his expertise
Humility, love, and intuition streamed untiringly
Undisputed King of Bata
Now rests in peace
Serenading the heavenly host
As the Gabriel and other angels boost
Undisputed King of Bata...you're the most
A nod and a smile from his handsome face
As he continues to groove from the inner space
To hear him play was more beautiful than the sun's first peek
Through the morning mist and solitude bliss
To hear him play was to experience a spiritual awakening
A lullaby totally danceable as the waves of the sea
yet soulfully meditative
His unassuming stature always sound fully strong
Always luminous, always sharing love
Called on May 7, 2010 from above
Continue your song, Francisco
Thank you for giving us the best bond
