Los Zafiros were one of Cuba's most intriguing and unusual bands. They recorded throughout the 1960s. Los Zafiros were an absolute aural delight, playing Bossa Nova, Doo Wop, Calypso, Son and whatever else took their fancy. Los Zafiros were named for a sapphire ring Manuel Galban bought one night off a drunk man outside their recording studio. The band was known for their hard-living ways, including not eating for days at a time as they drank nonstop. Their fights were legion -- and legendary -- and that unfortunately led to cancellations of many international tours.
