Judging only by the amount of times it's been remade, El Cumbanchero by the greatest of Puerto Rican composers, Rafael Hernandez, is one of the most popular Puerto Rican songs of all time. Listening to it, one can understand how successive generations can fall in love with its insistent beat and sharp melody. The video below explains that when Rafael Hernandez met President John Kennedy, that Kennedy addressed him as Mr. Cumbanchero. You must own the albums below.
