Synopsis
The webdoc for Sex, Maracas and Chihuahuas. The Incredible Life of Xavier Cugat provides an interactive tour through the prolific life of this versatile musician based on his loves and Caribbean rhythms. Viewers can explore it in three different ways: discovering the sequential periods of his life using musical notes from his personal scores, indicating key years, and exploring each section related to each of his major loves. From his childhood to Rita Montaner and Cuban rhythms, from Carmen Castillo to Lorraine Allen, or his more profound loves (Abbe Lane and Charo Baeza), to his final days, the web documentary invites viewers to embark on an exciting journey across the 20th century through photos, videos, films, drawings, caricatures, anecdotes and, above all, music.
