Wikipedia, Sept. 08, 2014 (Luciano Pozo González, better known as Chano Pozo; born January 7, 1915 in Havana; died December 3, 1948 in New York City; Afro-Cuban jazz percussionist, singer, dancer and composer who played a major role in the founding of Latin jazz. Although he lived but 33 years, no discussion of Latin jazz is complete without mention of his name and no discussion of trumpet giant Dizzy Gillespie, the godfather of Latin jazz in the U.S., can begin without the name of Pozo, who was the first in a long line of Latin percussionists in Dizzy's various bands)
