Too Much! – René Touzet [Digital]

In 1944, after his club in Cuba was destroyed by a hurricane, Touzet moved to the USA where he worked as pianist, songwriter and arranger. After forming his own orchestra in the mid-1950s, he successfully recorded eleven albums for producer Gene Norman on our label between 1955 and 1964, and performed regularly at Norman’s Crescendo night club. Touzet remained a popular bandleader through the 1960s, incorporating pachangas and other new rhythms into his compositions, without losing touch with the boleros and cha-chas that brought him his first fame.
