Scope and Content Note
Materials from the Music of Machito and his Afro-Cubans span from the 1930s to 2015.
With brother-in-law Mario Bauzá as musical director, Machito (also known as Frank
Grillo) formed the Afro-Cubans, a band that actively performed and recorded from 1940 to
the early 1980s. Machito and his ensemble are credited with bringing together Afro-Cuban
rhythms, improvisation, and big band jazz to form an influential legacy that includes
salsa music and Afro-Cuban jazz, sometimes referred to as "cubop." The group included
and performed with notable musicians such as Tito Puente, Charlie Parker, Cannonball
Adderley, Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, and Stan Kenton. The ensemble was also a family
affair, with Machito's foster sister Graciela and daughter Paula Grillo singing and son
Mario Grillo performing and later directing. Machito served as front man and maracas
player and is credited with establishing the timbales, congas, and bongo part of the
standard percussion battery in Latin jazz music. The [Music](M01) series comprises approximately 150
manuscript and published original compositions and arrangements performed by Machito and
his Afro-Cubans band that include scores, parts, and lead sheets. A mounted promotional
poster, clippings, papers, and a pair of maracas form the [Miscellany ](M02)series.
