Description by OLDIES.com:
Before he helped popularize the tango, cha cha, mambo, and rumba, bandleader Cugat got his start as a classical violinist. During his eight-decade career, "Cugie" recorded many albums -- two of his most original Columbia recordings are included on this single disc.

Product Description:
2 LPs on 1 CD: BREAD, LOVE & CHA CHA CHA (1957)/CUGAT CAVALCADE (1958).
Originally released on Columbia.
This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out-of-print Xavier Cugat LPs: Bread, Love and Cha-Cha-Cha and Cugat Calvalcade. Each of the 24 tracks has a continuity dominated by cha cha rhythms. While this material becomes formulaic, it's still a lot of fun and perfect background music for your next party. Highlights Include "Frenesi," "La Cumparsita," "Tico-Tico," and "Miami Beach Rhumba." ~ Al Campbell
