Edmundo Ros was born in Trinidad in December 1910..
The family moved to Caracas, Venezuela, and he became the tympanist in the Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela.
By 1937 he had moved to London to continue his classical studies, but instead became involved in popular music, forming his own five-piece Rumba Band in 1940 and making his first recording, for Parlophone in 1941.
His performances at the Bagatelle Restaurant in London attracted the Royal Family and celebrities of the day, sealing his success.
The Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, danced her first dance in public to his music. In later years he and his orchestra were often invited to play at Buckingham Palace.

In 1951 he bought the Coconut Grove and named it the Edmundo Ros Dinner and Supper Club. The band grew and was renamed Edmundo Ros and his Orchestra, selling millions of records.

During the 1950s and 1960s the Ros orchestra appeared frequently on BBC Radio, but in 1975 he disbanded the orchestra, destroying most of its arrangement sheets.
Edmundo Ros, the man credited with popularising Latin American music in the UK, has died at the age of 100 in October 2011.. 

The track El Cumbanchero has a mad beat and its bottom note is struck by a variety of Latin rhythm playes whose percussive punchers inlcude the maracas,cowbell, timbalas and bongos.The repeating melody of the brass instruments is highlighted by a flute improvisation.
This track also dating back to the 1950's has a nearly pyschedelic quality today.

Chocolat Negro Recycled Design and Art is a young design and life style label based in South Africa. 
Our side project is THE MDANTSANE WAY is a popular online magazine, that profiles the second biggest township in South Africa. We have published a book about Mdantsane and a movie is in preparation.
We are music addicts and vinyl record collectors and we collect especially the out of press music, labels and records of the African Diaspora. 
On our trips to Mdantsane and as well to other places outside the township, during which we conduct interviews and collect stories we search the second hand shops, junk shops and flea markets for great sounds. We have found some amazing African music spanning several decades.  But we also came across a lot of other epic reocrds, We continue buying because we don't like vinyl to be turned into handbags and place mats for weddings..We keep on searching. 
It's our addiction. The documentary film we are working on and which is a follow up on the book is a time-travel through the history and the music of South Africa and especially the music scene of the Mdantsane township. 
Check out our Mdantsane Way Magazine here  and if you enjoy it - share it please. We are funding this project ourselves http://mdantsanelife.blogspot.com/
