{"product_id":"8436563185922","title":"DESCARGAS CUBANAS | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCachao Y Su Combo, Legendary composer, arranger, band leader and double bassist Israel \"Cachao\" López (1918-2008) is universally recognized as one of the most prolific and influential figures in the history of Cuban music. 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 \u0026 SU COMBO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48241051566325,"sku":"8436563185922","price":22.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/8436563185922.jpg?v=1780876244","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/8436563185922","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
