I recognize the bit with the horns form a tune by the Skatalites.  I can't place the name of the Skatalites tune but it wasn't Cumbanchero.

update - it was driving me crazy so I tracked down the Skatalites tune and it's "Rockfort Rock" or "Rock Fort Rock".  I have it on two CDs and one uses Rockfort, one word and the other Rock Fort, two words.

And I have no idea who used the passage first or if it was just in the common domain.

I have been to Cuba 5 times—each visit better than the last!! No, I am not an American.

so I was watching PBS show on the topic of boogaloo  music  and how it grew out of mambo, samba, et. 

Is this a boogaloo song?

It rocks.

I was lucky to see him play live in London not long before he died. A brilliant pianist.
