BABALU: THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK GOES LATIN - WITH THE MUSIC OF THE Desi Arnaz ORCHESTRA
Lucie Arnaz, Artistic Director, Host, Vocals
South-of-the-border rhythms captivated songwriters from Irving Berlin to Cole Porter and beyond. Lucie Arnaz celebrates the "Latin invasion" of the '30s, '40s and '50s through her father's original big band arrangements. They have been stored in the Library of Congress for decades, but they will re-emerge this January, when she brings them to the 92Y stage.
