His showbiz career began in his hometown. There, since childhood, he would entertain crowds at parties and fairs by dancing and singing. It was natural that he would travel to <span class=\"xn-location\">Havana<\/span>, not just the country&#8217;s capital but a known entertainment center. In <span class=\"xn-location\">Havana<\/span>, he worked in theaters and radio shows. But it was in the new medium of television where he made his mark. In a city known for its nightclub scene, <span class=\"xn-person\">Alvarez Guedes<\/span> appeared in popular television shows that were set in bars and clubs in the role of\u00a0&#8220;el borracho&#8221;, the drunkard, where he mixed linguistic humor with a physical comic style reminiscent of American silent movie stars. He worked in this medium, as well as the booming club world of 1950s <span class=\"xn-location\">Havana<\/span>, where he shared billing with such stars as Beny Mor\u00e9, <span class=\"xn-person\">Olga Guillot<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-person\">Rita Montaner<\/span>.<br \/><\/i><i>During that decade, the comic also began a cinematic career that would lead to roles in more than 14 movies and the production of three. However, his most disseminated medium was the recorded spoken word. In 1960, <span class=\"xn-person\">Alvarez Guedes<\/span> was forced into exile, landing first in <span class=\"xn-location\">New York City<\/span>, then\u00a0San Juan, <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>, where he eventually made his first comedy album in 1973, leading to thirty-plus albums over the years. Through the albums, he became an international star of Spanish-language comedy before settling in\u00a0Miami. His best-selling album was his English-language album, <\/i><i>How to Defend Yourself From the Cubans. <\/i><i><span class=\"xn-person\">Alvarez Guedes<\/span> and his brother Rafael, together with composer\/band leader\u00a0Ernesto Duarte Brito, founded\u00a0<b><span class=\"xn-person\">Gema Records<\/span><\/b>, the company that launched the international careers of El Gran Combo and <span class=\"xn-person\">Willy Chirino<\/span>, to name a few.\u00a0 During the 1970s and 1980s, \u00c1lvarez Guedes dedicated himself to recording comedy albums and writing comedy books. <\/i><i>He died on <span class=\"xn-chron\">July 30, 2013<\/span> at 86 years of age. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><b><i><u>About Loud And Live:<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>An Entertainment, Marketing, Media &amp; Live Events Company, Loud And Live performs at the intersection of music, sports, lifestyle and content development.
