Pancho El Bravo was known as Alberto Cruz Torre internationally. His charanga was the most loved band among Cuban dancers during the Seventies. Pancho El Bravo revived the danzon genre with his flutuosity, his lively compositions, and his danceable experimentation on the danzon. Pancho El Bravo was given the opportunity to perform his tira tira rhythm with the Orquesta America with Cha Cha Cha Cha, and Perez Prado with mambo. He had been experimenting with it since the time he was with the Neno Gonzo orchestra. His luck did not favor him and his creation was kept prisoner on an island that closed off all cultural exchange with the outside. from http://www.freshsoundrecords.com
