Pianist and Band Leader. He left Puerto Rico in 1935, seeking fame and fortune in New York City. He settled in the heart of the “Barrio.” He rose to become the leader of one of Latin music's top bands, playing in places like: Stork Club, Copacabana, la Conga, and China Doll nightclubs. He wrote hit songs, led one of the nation's top Latin bands, made top-selling recordings, appeared in movies, and became a symbol of pride for his fellow Puerto Ricans and for all Hispanics.
