Antonio Machín
Spanish-Cuban singer and musician / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonio Abad Lugo Machín (11 February 1903, in Sagua la Grande, Cuba – 4 August 1977, in Madrid, Spain) was a Spanish-Cuban singer and musician. His version of El Manisero, recorded in New York, 1930, with Don Azpiazú's orchestra, was the first million record seller for a Cuban artist.[1][2] Although this was labelled a rhumba, it was in reality a son pregón, namely, a song based on a street-seller's cry.
