description: "Luciano Pozo González, known professionally as Chano Pozo, was a Cuban jazz percussionist, singer, dancer, and composer. Despite only living to the age of 33, he played a major role in the founding of Latin jazz. He co-wrote some of Dizzy Gillespie's Latin-flavored compositions, such as \"Manteca\" and \"Tin Tin Deo\", and was the first Latin percussionist in Gillespie's band. According to Rebeca Mauleón, \"Few percussionists have played as integral a role in shaping Latin music as Luciano 'Chano' Pozo González\"."
