    "comment": "Machito was born Francisco Raúl Gutiérrez Grillo in about 1908. Growing up in Cuba, he studied music and performed professionally as a singer and percussionist before moving to New York City in 1937. There he formed his group the Afro-Cubans, with future brother-in-law Bauzá serving as musical director. They are credited with bringing together Afro-Cuban rhythms, improvisation, and big band jazz to form an influential legacy that includes Latin jazz, salsa music, and Afro-Cuban jazz, sometimes referred to as “Cubop.” According to Bauzá, the music was “like lemon meringue pie: jazz in the top and African-Cuban rhythms at the bottom.”",
