Francisco "El Gran" Fellove (1923–2013) was a Cuban singer and songwriter renowned for his dynamic performances and innovative contributions to Latin music. A pioneer of the "filin" movement, he blended traditional Cuban genres like guaracha and bolero with scat singing, creating a unique style known as "chua chua." His composition "Mango Mangüé," written at 17, became a classic, recorded by legends such as Celia Cruz and Tito Puente. After relocating to Mexico in 1955, Fellove's charismatic stage presence and inventive musical approach solidified his status as a trailblazer in Afro-Cuban music.
