He was a co-founder of the widely popular mambo style in the late 1930's, and a primary exponent of the \"descarga\" movement of the 1950's. Cachao's recognition as one of the most formidable Cuban musicians helped him to get the chance to record as a leader in 1957. He and his sidemen got together for informal jam sessions at around 4 a.m., after fulfilling their professional obligations. These sessions were known as \"descargas\", combining the improvisational and informal characteristics of a jazz jam session with harmonic progressions and rhythms distinctly Cuban. The album Descargas Cubanas, presented here, marked the very first in a series of recorded \"descargas,\" and includes several legends of Cuban music, such as Alejandro \"El Negro\" Vivar, Generoso \"El Tojo\" Jiménez, and Tata Güines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cachao Y Su Combo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46972813836463,"sku":"8436563185922","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshized.com\/products\/cachao-y-su-combo-descargas-cubanas-limited-180-gram-vinyl-with-bonus-tracks-limited-vinyl-lp","provider":"Freshized","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
