{"product_id":"cachao-y-su-combo-descargas-cubanas","title":"Cachao Y Su Combo - Descargas Cubanas","description":"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.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50839481057575,"sku":"8436563185922","price":22.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4383602-3469234.jpg?v=1766047699","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/cachao-y-su-combo-descargas-cubanas","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
