The first time I saw Antonio Banderas perform was in the movie "The Mambo Kings", starring Armand Assante. While he was a star in Spain, this was his first American film. I was a fan of Mr. Assante (watch him in Rage of Angels; he was a very bad boy in it, but oh so sexy and intense... but I digress), but the true revelation of The Mambo Kings was Antonio Banderas; when he was on screen, you couldn't take your eyes off of him. I knew then that he would be a major star. When he is on stage, you still can't take your eyes off of him.

And those dancers are fabulous, and that is the work of a gifted Choreographer. The most wonderful dance moves on such a small stage, strangely in perfect harmony with this amazing song that capitulates the entire story of Eva Durate and Evita Peron. Can we see the entire dance? I tried to count how many cameras were used, looks like a dozen at least. The film exists, nad this fam, we fans, want to see it. A 3 minute film to share with the world, please!

Avita was Antonio's first singing role. He and Madonna rehearsed before they lobbied the producers Alan Parker, Tim Rice, Andrew G. Vajna, and Robert Colin Stigwood to audition for the part of Avita and Che. It was a tough sell because Antonio wasn't a big draw at the time. Madonna was controversial. Madonna's tenacity persuaded them to at least give them an audition. AND it paid off. The producers saw the chemistry between them and Antonio's Spanish accent was a plus. He had rehearsed with Madonna, which gave him an edge, and with lessons and more practice, they decided he could pull it off. The rest is history... The movie in 1996 grossed 141 million USD equivalent to $229.85 million in 2019.
