"Many people contributed to inventing mambo, son-montuno, cha-cha-cha, it wasn't just one guy for each. Cachao was one of the musicians contributing to Afro-cuban music in the 20th century. But I can't get over these recordings, made in Havana in the late 50's. The musicians on these recordings sound like the best of the best, who are really pushing the boundaries. It compares to any of what the best American jazz musicians recorded in the 50's."
