. . . "A descarga (literally discharge in Spanish) is an improvised jam session consisting of variations on Cuban music themes, primarily son montuno, but also guajira, bolero, guaracha and rumba. The genre is strongly influenced by jazz and it was developed in Havana during the 1950s. Important figures in the emergence of the genre were Cachao, Julio Guti\u00E9rrez, Bebo Vald\u00E9s, Peruch\u00EDn and Ni\u00F1o Rivera in Cuba, and Tito Puente in New York."@en . . . .
