Everything about The Peanut Vendor totally explained
The Peanut Vendor (original title:
El Manisero) is a popular
Cuban
song in style usually known as
Cuban rumba (the more correct name of the song's style is
son pregón).
» Maní, maní, maní…
Si te quieres por el pico divertir,
» Cómprame un cucuruchito de maní.
El manisero se va, el manisero se va.
» Me voy, te digo que me voy…
The arrangement of
El Manisero by a
Jewish emigrant to Cuba,
Moisés Simmons was recorded by a popular Cuban singer
Rita Montaner in
Havana in 1928. In 1930 the adaptation of Montaner’s version was recorded in
New York by
Don Azpiazu and his Havana Casino orchestra, sung by
Antonio Machín. It was featured in the
Hollywood film
The Cuban Love Song (1931) and quickly picked by a dozen other orchestras in the
United States and
Europe. The song was
a top hit on the record in 1931.
Because of its cultural importance, in 2005
The Peanut Vendor was included into the
United States National Recording Registry by the
National Recording Preservation Board, stating:
» "It is the first American recording of an authentic Latin dance style. This recording launched a decade of “rumbamania,” introducing U.S. listeners to Cuban percussion instruments and Cuban rhythms."
