In case you need to brush up on your Latin jazz history, PBS has a
four-part documentary that you can view online called "Latin Music USA."
I already had an understanding of the melding of jazz and Afro-Cuban
music through Dizzy Gillespie and Machito, but what I didn't realize was
how much the rock and roll of the 50s and 60s borrowed from the mambos
of earlier decades. What I found especially fascinating was how the
Latin music of the 60s and 70s then borrowed elements of R&B and rock
music to create boogaloo, which led to the rise of salsa and the
esteemed (notorious?) Fania Records. Related: Five Legends of Latin Jazz
