Bolero and Guaracha singing idol Daniel Santos – the “Restless Anacobero”, the “Barrio Dandy” – was one of Tropical Music’s most colorful and enigmatic figures. With his bohemian lifestyle, extraordinary talent and personality, he tore through Latin America in the 50s. He did everything in a big way, and his love-affairs, recordings, musical compositions, and jail nights for bar-brawls all numbered in the hundreds.

LA ÚLTIMA GIRA finds him in his later years, retired from show-business and living in Ocala, Florida, where he operates a small bodega-type store, while dictating a biography to Secre, his improvised manager. The remembrance of past glories makes him embark on a last hurrah: a concert tour of a Latin American country where he was revered as El Jefe (the Chief) and where he hopes to demonstrate his relevance beyond mere nostalgia act.
