Xavier Cugat (English:; Catalan: [ʃəβiˈe kuˈɣat]; 1 January 1900– 27 October 1990) was a Spanish-American bandleader and native of Spain who spent his formative years in Havana, Cuba. A trained violinist and arranger, he was a leading figure in the spread of Latin music in United States popular music. He was also a cartoonist. In New York, he was the leader of the resident orchestra at the Waldorf-Astoria before and after World War II. The personal papers of Xavier Cugat are preserved in the Biblioteca de Catalunya.
Cugat was born as Francisco de Asís Javier Cugat Mingall de Bru y Deulofeu (Catalan: Francesc d'Assís Xavier Cugat i Mingall de Bru i Deulofeu) in Girona, Catalonia, Spain. His family emigrated to Cuba when Xavier was five. He was trained as a classical violinist and played with the Orchestra of the Teatro Nacional in Havana. On 6 July 1915, he and his family arrived in New York as immigrant passengers on board the S.S. Havana. Cugat appeared in recitals with Enrico Caruso, playing violin solos.

Interantísimo programa, inédito en Youtube, que se sale un poco de la línea de este canal ya que está grabado en 1989, pero la talla del personaje ... lo merece. Faltó que preguntaran por Elvis Presley que Cugat conoció en 1970 (quizás antes) cuando asistió a sus conciertos con su mujer Charo en el casino International Hotel, de Las Vegas.hubiese sido una interesante aportación, pero cuando no hay puta idea es lo que pasa. Emitido el 16 de Septiembre de 1989, lamentablemente falleceria un exactamente un año despues. Va por tí Xabier Cugat!! "El que vivió.

Entrevista a Xavier Cugat per a Televisió de Girona. Xavier Cugat parla de la seva decisió de quedar-se a Catalunya per viure els últims anys de la seva vida. Forma part de la primera setmana d'emissions de Televisió de Girona l'any 1986.
Charo talks about how she came to the United States from Spain as a performer (by marrying Xavier Cugot, who was a band leader and very famous at that time in Spain and the U.S.). In 2002 (the year of this interview) Charo had been in the United States at least since 1966 when she married Cugot - after 36 years she still sounded like she had just got off the boat from Spain. Many people question why she never lost her heavy accent. The answer is easy - it's an intrinsic part of her stage act...you can be pretty certain that she doesn't talk like that around family and close friends! Charo is remarkably intelligent and is a world class flamenco guitarist. She had a busy professional life with Cugat, performing with him and his orchestra. After her divorce from Cugat she married Kje...

La darrere entrevista
"Aquarela do Brasil" (Watercolor of Brazil), known in the English-speaking world simply as "Brazil", is one of the most famous Brazilian songs of all time, written by Ary Barroso in 1939 and played by Xavier Cugat. A canção "Aquarela do Brasil" recebeu esse título porque foi composta numa noite de 1939 na qual Barroso foi impedido de sair de casa devido a uma forte tempestade. Naquela mesma noite, também compôs "Três Lágrimas" antes que a chuva acabasse. ------------------------------ Ary Barroso wrote "Aquarela do Brasil" in early 1939, when he was prevented from leaving his home one night due to a storm. Its title, a reference to watercolor painting, is a clear mention to the rain. He also wrote "Três Lágrimas" (Three teardrops) on the same night, before the end of the rain. ...

Notwithstanding this particular interpretation, the melody we hear is still one of the most famous Cuban songs of all time!

Xavier Cugat And His Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra - Cuanto Le Gusta
Amor, amor, amor
This word so sweet, that I repeat, means I adore you
Amor, amor, my love
Would you deny this heart that I have placed before you
I can't find another word with meaning so clear
My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear
But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear
As this soft caressing word I know
Amor, amor, my love
When you're away there is no day and nights are lonely
Amor, amor, my love
Make life divine, say you'll be mine and love me only
I can't find another word with meaning so clear
My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear
But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear
As this soft caressing word I know
