Afro-Cuban Jazz

À propos de Afro-Cuban Jazz

Born when Cuban rhythm met American big-band swing in the 1940s, Afro-Cuban jazz produced mambo, cubop, and Latin jazz. Dizzy Gillespie's collaboration with Chano Pozo lit the spark in New York; back in Havana, Pérez Prado and Beny Moré turned the mambo into a worldwide dance craze, and Irakere later carried the lineage into modern jazz.
