Antonio MacHin

Antonio Machín (born Antonio Abad Lugo Machín, Sagua la Grande, Cuba 11 February 1903 – 4 August 1977, Madrid) was a 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 rumba, it was in reality a son pregón, namely, a song based on a street-seller's cry.\r\r
