This was recorded in Havana in 1957 as the second in a series of Cuban Jam Sessions. Cachao first appeared on Vol. 2, along with Julio Gutiierrez and his orchestra.. These records were released by Panart.


Israel 'Cachao' Lopez pioneered the 'descarga' i(all-out jam session) craze n the '50s. He was a prodigious double bassist as well as a prolific composer. He died in March 2008. He is greatly missed.

The chorus is "Como mi ritmo no hay dos," which means "there's no rhythm like mine."

Tito Rodriguez recorded the same song, which was called "Descarga Cachao," and was on the Tito Tito Tito album in the 1950s. That version has a more "New York" sound and I personally prefer Cachao's performance.
