On this day 1912 : Frank Paul Grillo born in Havana, Cuba


I hear you say 'Who the hell is Frank Paul Grillo ??'
If you like Afro-Cuban music you will know. He's better known as Machito. Hope now you've heard of that nick name or else go to AllMusicGuide and read !

V-Tone has remembered his birthday and made a nice compilation of some of his great dancing music (mambo aso) which you can admire on his V-Rocket blog.
So hurry up and go to him !

By the way he died Apr 15, 1984 in London, England : almost 25 years ago.
Talking about figures. Also on this day, but in 1959, Fidel Castro became premier of Cuba after the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista.
