Description:

Xavier Cugat, the daddy of Latin American music, introduced Latin music and dance rhythms to the world. 'Viva Cugat!' was his first adventure into the ear-arresting world of stereo with a group of outstanding Afro-Cuban melodies performed with a rare lyricism and rhythmic drive. 'The Best of Cugat' presents twelve great songs of the 1930s to the 1950s with a Latin touch all of which receive the Cugat treatment. Of the six bonus tracks, American classics such as "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "In the Mood" are performed with an innovative and fun Twist beat.

"Viva Cugat: The Best Of Cugat" is a captivating CD collection that celebrates the vibrant legacy of Xavier Cugat, one of the most influential Latin bandleaders and arrangers of the 20th century. This album brings together some of his greatest hits, showcasing his unique blend of Latin rhythms with big band swing?a style that made him an international sensation from the 1930s through to the 1960s. Tracks like "Brazil," "Perfidia," and "Babalu" highlight Cugat's flair for infectious melodies and danceable beats. Released by Sepia Records, known for their high-quality reissues and dedication to preserving classic music, this compilation is a must-have for fans of vintage Latin sounds or anyone looking to discover why Xavier Cugat was dubbed ?The Rumba King.? With decades-long success in both Hollywood films and nightclubs worldwide, Cugat?s influence on popularizing Latin music remains unmatched.
