During the 1990s the descarga format gained worldwide popularity due to the release of several highly successful albums. In 1993, Cuban-born actor Andy García released a documentary about the life and works of Cachao entitled "Como su ritmo no hay dos". The following year, Cachao became the first inductee (together with Celia Cruz) in the "Billboard" Latin Music Hall of Fame. Shortly after, García brought Cachao to a recording studio to record a descarga album, partly in honour of his father (who was friends with Cachao's family) and his hometown, Bejucal, where his father was known as "el alcalde" (the mayor). The album, entitled "Master Sessions Vol. I", became a success, charting in the "Billboard" Latin 50 and winning the Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album in March 1995. The follow-up, "Master Sessions Vol. 2", which featured Paquito D'Rivera and Rolando Laserie, was released in 1995 and was also nominated for Best Tropical Latin Album but lost to Gloria Estefan's "Abriendo Puertas".
