Don Azpiazu & His Havana Casino Orchestra - The Peanut Vendor (1930)

Performed by: Don Azpiazú & His Havana Casino Orchestra Full Song Title: The Peanut Vendor Recorded in: 1930, New York, NY (24th St. Studio) Justo Ángel Azpiazú (born Cienfuegos, 11 February 1893 – died Havana, 20 January 1943), better known as Don Azpiazú, was a popular Cuban orchestral director of the 1920's and 1930's. His band introduced authentic Cuban dance music and Cuban musical instruments to a wide audience in the USA. It was his Havana Casino Orchestra which went to New York City in 1930, and recorded one of the biggest hits in Cuban music history, the "Peanut Vendor". It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA. The band included a number of star musicians such as trumpeter Julio Cueva and singer Antonio Machín. Azpiazú also used North American singers such as Bob Burke or Chick Bullock to help popularize the genre. In the mid-1920s he performed with his Havana Casino Orchestra at the National Casino in Havana. In 1930 he traveled with his Orchestra to New York, United States and there he made his debut on April 26 of the same year at the Palace Theater on Broadway, he broke in with successful rumbas to the beat of tumbadoras, bongoes, clave, maracas, timbales, güiros and cowbells with Julio Cueva as a trumpeter; Mario Bauzá, saxophonist and clarinetist, and Antonio Machín, singer, who performed "El manisero", his great success, by Moisés Simons. They also recorded in English sones, rumbas and other genres of Cuban popular music. In this regard, John Storm Roberts noted: "On the afternoon of April 26, 1930, there was not a single vacant place, after the intermission, in the theater of Latin music in the United States." The importance of the first presentation of the Havana Casino Orchestra did not reside in what he played, but in the way of doing it. The American public heard for the first time, thanks to Don Azpiazu, authentic Cuban dance music, complete with maracas, clave, güiros, bongo, congas and timpani. In 1931 the Havana Casino orchestra performed again at the Palace.
