The toast of London's high society, he efficaciously introduced the rhumba and samba to the U.K. shores. Born December 7, 1910, in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, to a Scottish father and an African-Venezuelan mother, Ros spent a lot of his childhood in military school day, playacting pleximetry in the military band. The have was otherwise suffering, all the same, and at 17 he ran away to Caracas, where he served as timpanist in the Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela. A decennary later Ros migrated to London, where he briefly studied graeco-Roman medicine before pursuing popular music full-time, financial backing Fats Waller and singing with Don Marino Barreto's Cuban stria prior to forming his have five-piece rhumba kit in 1940. After grading a stumble with 1941's Parlophone retail store "Los Hijos de Buda," Ros became a whiz, attracting the cream off of London society to his appearances at the too-generous Coconut Grove. When the defendant in a high profile disassociate case implicated Ros as a catalyst for his marriage's dying, the bandleader made national headlines, and the sexuality soil only made him more than popular, and he even taught then-Princess Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret to dance. After a retentive residence at the West End clubhouse the Bagatelle, Ros in 1951 acquired the late Coconut Grove land site on Regent Street and renamed the venue Edmundo Ros' Dinner and Supper Club. He as well made regular appearances on BBC radio, and his albums for the London label's Phase 4 imprint (including the blank honest-to-god age pop classics Rhythms of the South and Arriba!) sold briskly. His biggest score, "The Wedding Samba," even crossed all over to the U.S. Top Five, marketing 3 million copies in the treat. After Parliament legalized play in 1965, attendance at Ros' clubhouse cursorily nosedived, and he sold the business enterprise as presently as possible. He retired to Alicante, Spain, a decade later, returning to London's Queen Elizabeth Hall on January 8, 1994, for one last farewell execution leading the BBC Big Band with Strings. Ros was as well awarded the Order of the British Empire in the 2000 New Year's Honours List.
