Xavier Cugat's Favorite Rhumbas - Xavier Cugat & his Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra

[@joanneoppenheim]

We are 86 and 87 and were lucky enough to dance to Cugie's orchestra at the Empire Room at the Waldorf Astoria when we were dating...our wedding dance was the Miami Beach Rhumba...in 1954. These days we are walking our daily mile + while staying at home during Covid. No matter how cooped up we are this music gives us a lift full of happy memories.

Hi Joanne, That is an amazing experience! Cugat Cavalcade was the first LP that I bought. I would love to hear you stories. If you receive this message, please contact me. 😀

Thanks for beautiful music!!!!

I was watching the remake of I LOVE LUCY and they showed this album as a prop so I am glad that I found it.

[@garnerjazz58]

Beautiful playing and amazing musicianship, the ensemble, phrasing, unique orchestrations, classically trained players, dynamics, and such character. Bravo Maestro Cugat.

Cugat when young played back up violin for the great Caruso when he toured South America. There is no substitute for experience!

[@mikekious4125]

I still have this album. It's put away somewhere, but I recall there were either three or four sleeves for each 78RPM record.

[@GregorysRecords]

My overwhelming collection is 'put a way' too... until I want to go in and look for something... a nightmare! LOL

[@urbisoler]

Does Carmen Castillo perform on these recordings?

[@pulaski5220]

I'd like to get spanish lessons too, mr monsanto

[@ruthcoiscou2740]

Hace unos anos compre esta coleccion de Cugats f"avorites Rhumbas "en una venta de cosas usadas por solamente $3.00 Dolares , quiero saber en que ano lo grabo. Gracias

[@garnerjazz58]

Besame!

[@carterc3672]

Hello GregorysRecords, was this a 78 rpm? I have the same set, and the box claims to be 33 rpm, but it doesn't sound right. The same was true for another one of my Columbia sets, a the Columbia set f-11 on Yankovic. Thank you for any help.

[@GregorysRecords]

This was an album of 78s.

[@garnerjazz58]

You may have a reissue to LP of what was originally a set of 78's.
