ARCARAZ MAMBO luis arcaraz orchestra

3:0 / 8595 view
La famosa orquesta de Luis Arcaraz interpreta de su propia inspiración el sabroso mambo ARCARAZ MAMBO. Nació en la Ciudad de México el 5 de diciembre de 1910. Su padre era dueño del teatro Principal. Siguiendo la tradición familiar, en 1932 Luis Arcaraz presentó su primera revista musical, Bluff Mata Hari en el Teatro Iris. Al iniciar su carrera, Luis Arcaraz, por su juventud, fue llamado El Benjamín de los Compositores. Con cierta frecuencia invitaba a sus amigos a componer con él; tal es el caso por ejemplo de Emilio Tuero, con quien escribió Sombras; con José Antonio Zorrilla Monís realizó Bonita y con Ernesto Cortázar Prisionero del Mar, por mencionar sólo a algunos de ellos. Sin embargo, fue con Mario Molina Montes con quien formó una exitosísima mancuerna, escribiendo un gran número de canciones como Sombra Verde, Viajera, Quinto Patio, entre otras. La canción más famosa internacionalmente de Luis Arcaraz fue Prisionero del Mar, que fue traducida a siete idiomas y grabada por 27 artistas. En los Estados Unidos Luis Arcaraz intervino en la cinta Cha Cha Cha Boom, alternando con otras grandes figuras latinas como Pérez Prado. No sólo apareció como intérprete o compositor de temas, sino que incluso llegó a actuar. Luis Arcaraz falleció el 1º. de junio de 1963, víctima de un accidente automovilístico, dejando un recuerdo imborrable en la historia musical de México.

Abbe Lane Tribute

2:31 / 22891 view
Here is a good song by the glamorous Abbe Lane. Dripping with sensuality, Abbe Lane was at her best performing live as a night club singer. Her first big break came when she was selected as the feature vocalist for The Xavier Cugat Orchestra. She turned that break into a short Hollywood film career, usually cast as the "exotic". She would make several more films in Italy, but it would always be her sexy stage shows that her fans will most remember. Abigail Francine Lassman was born in Brooklyn, New York on December 14th, 1932. Her career dates back to her late teens when she was already an accomplished vocalist. During that time she came to the attention of latin band leader Xavier Cugat. Cugat was riding the crest of the latin-mania of the late 1940's and early 1950's. Her occasional singing spot, with his mainly instrumental orchestra, was the highlight of the nightclub circuit from coast to coast. Her first appearance on film also came through her affiliation with Cugat. In 1952 she starred in a mini-movie simply entitled "Xavier Cugat and His Orchestra". Her recording career also blossomed around the same time. A host of albums followed during the 1950's. Besides her now legendary recordings with Cugat, Abbe also was feted by and recorded with Sid Ramin, Tito Puente and countless others. Her marriage in 1952 to Xavier Cugat was one of many for the aging band leader. Her career was prolific both as an actress and vocalist during the 1950's and well into the 1960's. A ...

Perez Prado - Cerezo Rosa (Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White)

Ordinarily I would prefer to post the original version of any hit recording, but I'm making an exception in this instance only because this is an expanded arrangement of the original "Cerezo Rosa" (aka "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White") by Perez Prado. The song itself was composed by French composer Louiguy and was a very popular French number entitled "Cerisier rose et pommier blanc". Perez Prado's version was the #1 song in the nation for an astounding ten weeks during March, April, and May of 1955.

Later on he became the main singer of Orquesta Casino de la Playa. Then he left Cuba in the early 40's to try his luck in New York City. He joined Xavier Cugat Orchestra who was performing at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Then around 1943 he started his solo career traveling wherever he was needed. He went to California with the sponsoring of Xavier Cugat who was really a Spaniard that live his early life in Cuba. Cugat was his sponsor to get an opportunity with Hollywood. Around 1955 he started his declined. Then around the late 60's he was lucky to get another opportunity with his own television show. Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball were his sponsor at this time. His television show lasted around ten years. We cannot pinpoint when and in what city he was born in Cuba. Some people say that he was from Matanzas. We know that he died in 1978, of a heart attack while performing in Bogota, Columbia.
