His parents, Eustaquio Dávila, a native of San Juan and a dobbing trader at the docks, and his mother Juana Rosario, a native of Bayamón, dedicated to household chores. He was one of the most versatile singers of the Caribbean pentagram, besides being one of the most extraordinary singers of boleros, he was also a natural sonero and an unequaled singer of the bomb and the full, genres of Puerto Rican popular music, as he proved In his great successes and songs of the street that Cortijo and Kako registered for the record label Ansonia.
Its history goes back to the fifties when, in a modest way, with the maestro of Mambo Pérez Prado, the atmosphere of the great metropolis gives him the opportunity to join bands of virtuous young people who in the sixties would begin to be recognized as the leaders of the Salsero movement.
And where does the Chivirico come from? According to Rafael Quintero, who gave him an interview with Rafael Dávila, he told him the following: "El Chivirico comes from a great singer who was a friend of mine, Orlando Guerra Cascarita." There was a jam in Havana, saying: When we were making a recording, the producer asked for me: "What's the name of this?" I said my name and he said, "Well, everyone here is called Rafitas. I recorded two Rafitas: Rafita Martinez and I Rafita Dávila Cascarita intervened and told the Producer: If this one is more popular than a Chivirico in Havana, then put Chivirico, and thus the name of Chivirico Dávila was born. "
Chivirico was one of the few singers who survived the transition from the era of mambo and boogaloo to the sound of New York salsa. When he signed to record as a soloist for Coutique Records, Chivirico already stood out as a composer and singer with the Taboo Quartet by Johnny Goicuría and Richie Ray.
In 1969 Joey Pastrana & His Orchestra recorded a 45 rpm single format album that included the songs "Pastrana Llegó" and "Color My World", in the voice of Chivirico Dávila, under the label Cotique Records, C- 200.
The 1973 album Chivirico, by Johnny Pacheco and arranged by the pianist Jorge Millet in 1973, was his passport to success as a soloist, so much so that he facilitated his foray into Fania All Stars in 1975 with his interpretation of the bolero " The same as you ", printed on the vinyl record" Tribute to Tito Rodríguez ".
In this recording you can appreciate the affection that Chivirico has for the Antillean bolero with four Latin American repertoires: "Mala Noche" by Domingo Domínguez, "Respétala" by Agustín Robot, "Como Fue" by Ernesto Duarte and his version of the old Tango "Niebla del Riachuelo" by Enrique Cadícamo and Juan Carlos Cobián. "Respétala", the story of a woman who makes a living that serving drinks in a bar, is one of the boleros that later gave rise to the LP "Vendre Por Ti", completely composed of romantic melodies.
Nevertheless, in 1973 Chivirico the sonero, had much to contribute to the world of the sauce. The guaguancós printed on the LP are still irresistible for the dancers. "That's why it stings here," with Yayo el Indio and Adalberto Santiago in the choir, is a magnificent and intense guaguancó. "El Babalao", inspired by Santeria rituals of the time, outlines the recipe for fraud and in the voice of Chivirico, safeguarding respect for Orula, Changó and Yemayá, puts in perspective the assault on the pockets that some spiritualists submit to his clients.
"Cuando Tú Quieras" is another delicious guaguancó where the sonero expresses itself with eloquence. "La Pagarás", is a son montuno biting, an echo of rancor towards an unrequited love. "Formed the Rumbón", in sepia and pure percussion in its first measures, is an exhibition of his vast experience as improviser of the montuno and "Without money" is a story of a dancer who arrives (without money) a room Dance and can not enjoy the party.
Chivirico Dávila's popularity lasted until approximately 1977. He was one of the figures, like La Lupe, Frankie Dante and Meñique, who were left behind with the international boom of the Fania All Stars. Although she only recorded about eight albums as a soloist, her record as a singer of other groups and as a showgirl is impressive, from the early fifties until her last days in 1994 participated singing, making choirs and even composing songs with at least forty different groups.
Family problems took him to New York, where he got a job in a factory. His last foray into music occurred in 1993, during a tour of Colombia with the Conjunto Orlando's four trumpets.

(Riachuelo) (1937)
LYRICS by: Enrique Cadicamo
MUSIC by: Juan Carlos Cobian
The title refers to one of the old harbor neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, La Boca del Riachuelo - The Mouth of the Brook - or simply La Boca, with houses covered in copper like ships and mounted on stilts overlooking the sea.
Turbio fondeadero donde van a recalar,
barcos que en el muelle para siempre han de quedar...
sombras que se alargan en la noche del dolor...
náufragos del mundo que han perdido el corazón...
Puentes y cordajes donde el viento viene a aullar...
barcos carboneros que jamás han de zarpar...
Torvo cementerio de las naves que al morir
sueñan sin embargo que hacia el mar han de partir...
Niebla del Riachuelo...
amarrado al recuerdo
yo sigo esperando...
Niebla del Riachuelo...
de ese amor para siempre
me vas alejando...
Nunca más volvió...
nunca más la vi...
nunca más su voz nombró mi nombre junto a mí...
... esa misma voz que dijo: "Adiós".
Sueña, marinero, con tu viejo bergantín,
bebe tus nostalgias en el sordo cafetín...
Llueve sobre el puerto, mientras tanto mi canción,
llueve lentamente sobre tu desolacion...
Anclas que ya nunca, nunca más, han de levar...
Bordas de lanchones sin amarras que soltar...
Triste caravana sin destino ni ilusión,
como un barco preso en la "botella del figón"...
