Machito and his Salsa Big Band 1982 is the Afro-Cuban salsa jazz orchestra led by Machito aka Frank Raul Grillo, who emigrated to New York City in the late 1930s. Machito is credited to be one of the innovators fusing Jazz/Be-bop with Afro-Cuban rhythms into salsa. His 14 man and one woman strong orchestra performs seven infectious salsa tracks, all written by Machito and recorded in 1983 at the Fendal Sound Studios (Holland), in a short four hours mostly one take per tune. The album won the 1983 Grammy Award in the category Best Latin Recording.
