El cumbanchero es de Rafael Hernandez! Aguadillano: it was written by a Puertorrican man! Not mexican, neither cuban Rafael Hernández Marín (October 24, 1892 - December 11, 1965) was a Puerto Rican songwriter, author of hundreds of popular songs in the Latin American repertoire.[1] He specialized in Puerto Rican styles such as the canción, bolero and guaracha. Among his most famous compositions are "Lamento borincano", "Capullito de alhelí", "Campanitas de cristal", "Cachita", "Silencio", "El cumbanchero", "Ausencia" and "Perfume de gardenias".
I thought for years the name of the Mexican Hat Dance was El Breako Del Leaso. Lucy and Ricky had to get out of their lease and they played this to be obnoxious, only to realize Fred and Ethel were selling tickets to the event in the upstairs apartment. Classic!
