He is often counted as the creator of the pachanga, because of the use of this rhythm in his 1959 song "La Pachanga", though other sources contend that José Fajardo's charanga band was the first to perform a pachanga.
In Cuba in 1955, Los Papines fused the violin-based music of charanga with the trumpet-based music of conjuntos Eduardo Davidson's La Pachanga, recorded in 1959 by Orquesta Sublime (which was in the USA).
