In the 1920s, jazz musicians in the United States began moving to Mexico to find work during prohibition.[1]

Mexican big bands

[edit]

Mexico is linked to the big band format. The main reason has to do with the settlement of the famous Cuban Dámaso Pérez Prado, who lived in Mexico from 1949 until his death in 1989.

The Mexican actor, orchestra director, and singer Luis Arcaraz was called Mexico's Jazz King by RKO-Pathé. In 1955, Down Beat magazine positioned Arcaraz's band as number four around the world.[citation needed]
