Foundation of Afro-Cuban Jazz
"Manteca" is one of the foundational tunes of Afro-Cuban jazz.
Co-written by Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo and Gil Fuller in 1947, it is among the most famous of Gillespie's recordings (along with the earlier "A Night in Tunisia") and is "one of the most important records ever made in the United States," according to Gary Giddins of the Village Voice.
"Manteca" is the first tune rhythmically based on the clave to become a jazz standard.
