By AllMusic's reckoning, Chaino (Leon Johnson) was a "Premier exotica-era percussionist, recording artist, and performer who was a master drummer and marketing visionary."
Thanks for the story and the tip about this album, which I did not know. Another one for the Norman Granz file...Digging "Rico Tico De Dongo" - although it sounds like he's saying "Bongo." Go, Leon Johnson, go
Crazy, man!
