In the late 40's and early 50's, the Cuban bandleader Luis Santi was a top attraction in the Havana nightclubs, appeared regularly on Cuban television and was a featured artist on Cuban radio station CMQ in Havana throughout the 50's. His appeal was not limited to the island of Cuba, Luis Santi's music soon spread to Mexico, South America and Europe. Like so many Cuban musicians of his time, he fled to America shortly after the 1959 embargo. One of the first Cuban expatriates to record in the U.S, Santi made some phenomenal recordings in Miami enlisting the talents of other recent expatriate Cuban master musicians such as the famed percussionist Carlos "Patato" Valdes and trumpeter Alejandro "El Negro" Vivar. Recorded in the mid-70's, "El Bigote" became one of Santi's most requested songs. Featured here is the original track coupled with the infectious "Cuidado Con La Mano." Newly re-mastered.
