From the back cover: Pedro Garcia has been one of Mexico's outstanding band leaders ever since 1948, when he formed his world renowned orchestra especially for the spectacular opening of the Hotel del Prado in Mexico City, directly opposite picturesque Almeda Park. Like Havana, Kingston, San Juan and Port-au-Prince, Mexico City is one of the world's most popular centers for the international set. It is also a mecca for Latin American enter- tainment, and the Cha Cha rates highly in appealing to dancers at every night spot. Although Garcia has been identified chiefly as a popular bandleader, he has a solid training as a classical musician. He studied at the National Conservatory of Mexico, and as an accomplished solo 'cellist played with leading sym- phony orchestras and opera companies in his native country and abroad. Before he formed his own popular orchestra, he appeared repeatedly with the Symphony Orchestra of Mexico under the direction of the noted Mexican composer and conductor, Carlos Chavez.
