    Compiled here are 28 of Xavier Cugat's greatest hits, recorded during his finest years in New York, 1945 to 1962. Collectors' deluxe digipak series with 6-page booklet and up-to-date liner notes.

    Xavier Cugat was a popular Spanish musician and bandleader who spent his formative years in Havana, Cuba. A trained violinist and arranger, he was a leading figure in the spread of Latin music for over four decades (1925-1970). Later moving to New York, he became the leader of the resident orchestra at the Waldorf-Astoria before and after World War II, where he gained perennial fame and became known as the "Rumba King".
