"Cubano Be! Cubano Bop!" is a tribute to the legacy of the original Conga King, Chano Pozo, and his co-conspirator in Latin Jazz, Dizzy Gillespie. In the 1940s Chano Pozo was at the top of his game. His rhythms descended from the ceremonies of his Afro-Cuban religion, Santeria. Together with Dizzie Gillespie, their 1947 Carnegie Hall concert literally changed the face of musical history and the course of American Jazz. Chano and Dizzy created Afro-Cuban Jazz, writing the standards, "Manteca" and "Tin Tin Deo," which burst the genre onto the musical map in a major way.
