Sex, maracas and chihuahuas
We are going to tell the story of Xavier Cugat, the only
Spaniard with four stars on the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame. A cheerful biopic full of music that links two continents.
From black and white to color, with excerpts from films shot in the studio and
by the major studios with a cast of great stars. We will pay tribute to the
rise of radio and the great orchestras. We will remember the mythical clubs,
hotel ballrooms and casinos shortly after the end of Prohibition. We will
relive the soundtrack of the great musical movies and television shows. We will
tell a story of romance, with mobsters, luxurious cars and palm tree
decorations. A story that goes from Barcelona to New York, passing through Cuba
and the birth of Las Vegas to the sound of maracas.
