Amparo Arrebato

Amparo Arrebato (December 30, 1944 – March 15, 2004) was a Colombian cymbal dancer.

Born Amparo Ramos Correa in Cali, Colombia, as a student she excelled in high-speed athletics and basketball. Later she became the most popular celebrity of the annual "Santiago de Cali Fair" [ [http://www.cali.gov.co/publico2/feria/fering.htm Feria de santiago de Cali. English version ] ] .

Her prominence as dancer began in the 1960s, thanks to recognition of Dámaso Pérez Prado "The King of Mambo" [ [http://www.laventure.net/tourist/prez_bio.htm Perez Prado and Mambomania ] ] , who invited her to join to his dance group. In 1968, the Puerto Rican salseros Richie Ray [ [http://www.musicofpuertorico.com/en/ricardo_ray.html Artists - Ray, Ricardo ‘Richie’ - Music of Puerto Rico ] ] and Bobby Cruz [ [http://www.musicofpuertorico.com/en/bobby_cruz.html Artists - Cruz, Bobby - Music of Puerto Rico ] ] increased her fame when they recorded the well-known tune "Amparo Arrebato", composed in honor of the then 23-year-old dancer.

She died of a heart attack at a hospital in Cali on March 15, 2004.
