In 1939, he formed his own rumba band, "Rumba With Ros". In 1941, he gained recognition with the track "Los Hijos de Buda" and was playing regularly at the elegant Coconut Grove club on Regent Street, which attracted members of high society.
In 1946, he owned a club, a dance school, a record company and an artist's agency. His band grew to 16 musicians. His album The Wedding Samba sold three million copies in 1949.
In 1951, he bought the Coconut Grove and renamed it Edmundo Ros' Dinner and Supper Club. The club became popular for its atmosphere and music; it closed in 1965. From 1964 to 1968 he was the owner of the internationally known and very exclusive Edmundo Ros Club on Regent Street.
His album Rhythms of The South (1957) was one of the first high-quality LP stereo records. He was with Decca records from 1944 to 1974.
In 1975 (at the age of 65) he retired and moved to Jávea, Alicante (Spain). On January 8, 1994, he gave his last public performance. Ros was awarded the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in the 2000 New Year's Honours List.

Malagueña
Edmundo Ros and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nunca mas te podre olvidar
En tu playa yo fui feliz
Y en recuerdo te canto asi...
Malaguena de ojos negros
Hermosa flor
Malaguena es tuyo mi amor
Tu aire de altivez
Y tu morena tez
Malaguena yo recuerdo el dulce son
De tus palillos y de tu cancion
Sigue el embrujo de tu fuego arrasador
Malaguena, yo quiero tu amor
Malaguena de ojos negros
Hermosa flor
Malaguena es tuyo mi amor
Que me tiene herido
Tu aire de altivez
Y tu morena tez
Malaguena yo recuerdo el dulce son
De tus palillos y de tu cancion
Sigue el embrujo de tu fuego arrasador
Malaguena, yo quiero tu amor
The lyrics of Edmundo Ros and His Orchestra's song Malaguena are a tribute to Malaga, a city located in southern Spain on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The song speaks of the memories of happiness and love that the singer experienced in Malaga. He sings of a beautiful flower of Malaga, the Malaguena de ojos negros, that has left him wounded with her haughty air and dark complexion. Despite the pain, he yearns for her love and the enchanting fire that burns within her.
The song is filled with longing and passion, as the singer reminisces the sweet sound of Malaga's palillos (castanets). The melody of the song has a Spanish rhythm, which is a blend of flamenco, classical, and folk music. The use of strings, horns, and percussion in the song captures the essence of Spain's traditional music.

QUIERO SABER SI LA MALAGUEÑA ES UN SEÑOR PARAGUAYO O ES DEL MEXICANO AGUSTIN LARA COMO GRANADA
@angeldearte
