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":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54762970448210,"sku":"38436563385933","price":7.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1097\/1820\/8850\/files\/4383602-3299954.jpg?v=1789720205","url":"https:\/\/u31jvi-vq.myshopify.com\/products\/cachao-y-su-combo-descargas-cubanas-limited-180-gram-vinyl-with-bonus-tracks-vinyl","provider":"My Store 2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
