DESCRIPTION

A musical story set between Barcelona and Cuba, cities that share the same music and the extremely colorful character of Xavier Cugat, the only Spaniard to have no less than two stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was the man behind the triumph of Latino rhythms that had conquered the United States. "Sex, Maracas and Chihuahuas" present this unique period in the history of Hollywood, the glorious era of the great orchestras and of the maracas rattling jubilantly in legendary clubs, ballrooms in luxury hotels and casinos.
