Poncho Sanchez was born in Texas to a large Mexican-American family. His family soon moved to Los Angeles where Sanchez would be exposed to various types of music such as American soul, Latin jazz, and straight-ahead jazz (jazz with rock influences).

The Latin jazz pioneer we are celebrating today is Ray Barretto. Barretto’s parents emigrated from Puerto Rico to the United States in the 1920s. Shortly after, he was born in New York City and grew up in Spanish Harlem and the South Bronx. At the age of 17, Barretto joined the army and was stationed in Germany just after World War II. There, he began playing the congas. When he returned to New York, he immediately began working with American jazz musicians. He was one of the several Latin artists at the time who tried to modernize the charanga sound

Continuing our highlight of Latin jazz pioneers for Hispanic Heritage Month is Brazilian songwriter and composer, Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida, better known as Antônio Carlos Jobim or Tom Jobim. He was integral to the transformation of the energetic rhythms of Brazilian samba into the intimate music we know as bossa nova. Jobim originally wanted to become an architect but ultimately left that field to pursue a musical career. After years of performing, transcribing songs, and arranging music for artists, Jobim began collaborating with singer-guitarist Jõao Gilberto. Together, they created the song “Chega de Saudade” in 1958, which is widely
