Open in the interactive experience‘Pigeon soup’ — a piece of Afro-Cuban big-band mischief. Composed by Alex Tovar and cut by Machito y sus Afro-Cubans around 1941, it belongs to the New York moment when Cuban rhythm and jazz horns first fused into what would become Latin jazz. A novelty title over serious swing — the Machito band's stock in trade.
