Important Albums
Machito's Kenya: Afro-Cuban Jazz was released in 1958, when Afro-Cuban jazz was no longer fresh and original, and was slipping into cliché and formula, but as there are not many classic Afro-Cuban jazz albums, this is regarded by Tony Wilds of Allmusic as "essential".
Other important albums:
- Afro – Dizzy Gillespie
- Afro-Cuban – Kenny Dorham
- Cuban Fire! – Stan Kenton
- Motherland – Danilo Perez
- On Fire – Michel Camilo
- La Verdad – Eddie Palmieri
- Mi gran pasion – Gonzalo Rubalcaba

“A society that has made “nostalgia” a marketable commodity on the cultural exchange quickly repudiates the suggestion that life in the past was in any important way better than life today.”
