Great Musicians and Musical Icons

XAVIER CUGAT
Remembered for his highly commercial approach to pop music, Xavier Cugat (born Francisco de Asis Javier Cugat Mingall de Cru y Deulofeo) made an even greater mark as one of the pioneers of
Latin American dance music.
 During his eight-decade-long career, Cugat helped to popularize the tango, the cha-cha, the mambo, and the rhumba.
 His hits included "El Manicero" in the 1930s, "Perfidia" in 1940, and the original recording of "Babalu" in 1944. Members of Cugat's band included Desi Arnaz, Miguelito Valdés, Tito Rodriguez, Luis del Campo, Yma Sumac, and his third wife (of four), Abbe Lane.
