World Circuit are shocked and saddened to announce the death of the great Cuban conga player Miguel 'Angá' Díaz. Anga suffered a heart attack on Wednesday 9th August at his home in San Sadurni d'Anoia, a small town east of Barcelona, he was 45.

Angá was an irrepressible character with a larger than life personality, whose beaming grin and booming laugh were matched by a warmth and humility that touched all of those lucky enough to know him. He will be sorely missed.
