Dave Pike
David Samuel Pike (March 23, 1938 – October 3, 2015) was a jazz vibraphone and marimba player. He appears on many Herbie Mann albums as well as those by Bill Evans, Nick Brignola, Paul Bley and Kenny Clarke. He also recorded extensively as leader, including a number of albums on MPS Records.
Biography
He learned drums at the age of eight and was self-taught on vibes. Pike made his recording debut with the Paul Bley Quartet in 1958. He began putting an amplifier on his vibes when working with flautist Herbie Mann in the early 1960s. By the late 1960s, Pike's music became more exploratory, contributing a unique voice and new contexts that pushed the envelope in times remembered for their exploratory nature. Doors of Perception, released in 1970 for the Atlantic Records subsidiary Vortex Records and produced by former boss Herbie Mann, explored ballads, modal territory, musique concrète, with free and lyrical improvisation, and included musicians like alto saxophonist Lee Konitz, bassist Chuck Israels and pianist Don Friedman.
Cayo Coco
Cayo Coco (Coco Key) is an island in central Cuba, known for its all-inclusive resorts. It lies within the Ciego de Ávila Province and is part of a chain of islands called Jardines del Rey ("King's Gardens"). The cay is administered by the Morón municipality. It has a surface area of 370 km2 and is named after the white ibis, locally called coco (coconut) birds. The island is known for its long beaches and many resort hotels.
History
Used as a hideout by buccaneers in the early colonial period, the island was home to a small settlement of fishermen and charcoal producers until 1955, when the freshwater supply was exhausted and the market for charcoal ended with the spread of electrification after the Cuban Revolution. A causeway connecting the island to the Cuban mainland was built in 1988, and resort construction began.The first resort, Guitart Cayo Coco (now the Hotel Colonial Cayo Coco), opened in 1993. The Cuban exile group Alpha 66 attacked the resort with machine guns in 1994 and 1995, but there were no injuries.

Cayo Coco
by: Rikki La RougeCoro:
Cayo coco bautizame en los aquas de cayo coco el
Sentimiento de tu arena y el mar contra de mi cuerpo
Es como divino cayo coco
V1:
Nunca quiere que salirte naturaleza belleza soy tuyo
He sonado de ti por que te extrano soy tu esclava
Eternal y mi amor tu eres un regalo de dios
V2:
Una otra palabra que es lo mejor describirte es
Paraiso y una eternal luna de miel con las movimientos
Elegantes de tus palmas y un beso tierno del sol
Por las playas esperandome cayo coco
