The G.V. Series (perhaps for Grabation Victor) were a series of 10 inch 78 rpm Gramophone records produced in Europe and the United States from the 1933 to the 1958, and exported (or repressed on site) to colonial Tropical Africa. They are credited with introducing Afro-Cuban music into modern African popular culture. The resulting re-interpretations influenced the creation of several genres of African popular music.
