Having captured Father Fausto, Catrina makes him dance to the rhythm of a conga drum as she relates another story. Benny Reyes is an aspiring percussionist overshadowed by the legacy of his deadbeat father, whose impact on the Cuban American music scene was so great he was simply known as El Ritmo-The Rhythm. When Benny inherits his father's drums, he learns that they hold a dark, hungry magic that can also make him the greatest conguero of his time… if he's willing to pay the ultimate price.
