MACHITO & HIS AFRO0CUBAN BOYS ORHCESTRA

OYE MI RUMBA with MACHITO in concert and his famous band. Machito and Mario Bauza split and here you will see Chocolate Armenteros in the trumpet solo and Chombo Silva in the Sax. Machito-vocalist, maraca player, composer, recording artist, bandleader (1908-1984) Machito and his Afro Cubans was an absolute powerhouse unit that lay the foundation for Latin Jazz, a seminal force in the original fusion of Cuban clave rhythms and the melodies and harmonies of jazz. They were the original Mambo Kings in New York in the 40s and are considered the most innovative and influential orchestra in the genre.
Frank Grillo better known as Machito was born in Tampa, Florida February 16, 1912. His father was Cuban, but, he was born an American Citizen by his own right. He was raised in Cuba. His mother nicknamed him MACHO and later people call him MACHITO. He became a very proficient vocalist and maraca player. He came to New York in 1937, looking for a good opportunity. He was a member of many Cuban groups of the time, like Conjunto Moderno, Conjunto Caney, Noro Morales Orchestra and Xavier Cugat Orchestra. After serving his duty in the US army he came back to New York. Later on he formed his own orchestra known as Machito and his Afro-Cubans Boys. Mario Bauza was his brother in law who became an essential element for their orchestra infiltrating the new rhythm known as in Latin Jazz. Their better know hit was Tanga. Here we present these great Cuban artists for the pleasure of our visitors. Graciela Grillo-Perez was born in Havana, Cuba and in the early 40s she moved to New York to seek success as the first lady of Latin jazz. She is the sister of Machito; (born August 25, 1915).

La cantante es Paula Grillo, hija de Machito que sustituyo a su tia Graciela cuando esta y Mario Bauza dejaron la orquesta a mediado de los 70's.La primera trompeta aqui es Manuel Duran y Chocolate es la segunda.En el bongo esta Ray Romero y el hijo de Machito,Mario esta en los timbales y sustituyo a Mario Bauza,su tio,como director musical de la orquesta.Luego de la salida de Bauza,el nombre de Afro-Cubans se dejo de usar y se llamaba "Machito y su Orquesta".

@cesarchalon Al Machito querer reducir la orquesta para una gira en Europa y como las cosas habian cambiado se lo plantea a Mario y Mario no esta de acuerdo porque entendia que la calidad y sonido de la orquesta sufriria.Al no llegar a un entendido ,Mario y Graciela deciden abandonar la orquesta y Machito reduce la misma y posteriormente va de gira a Europa.Su hijo se convierte en el director musical de la orquesta.Siempre a sus ordenes.
