Music legend Palmieri, coined as the "Madman of Salsa," was the first Latino artist to win a Grammy Award. During his illustrious career, he picked up another seven Grammy Awards. Palmieri was a highly-revered pianist and first learned to play the instrument when he was a child. But, he was fascinated by the drums and decided to play the timbales in his uncle's orchestra. He then changed course and returned to playing the piano. Palmieri played alongside stars such as Johnny Segul and Tito Rodriguez before he launched La Perfecta, his own band, in 1961. He won his first Grammy Award in 1975 for his album The Sun of Latin Music. His success continued into the 1980s, scooping another two Grammy Awards. More to follow...
