		Babalu loved the song and sang it a lot, even singing it in the theatre on one occasion.
		As a boy, Babalu took his nickname from the title of a song, "Babalu," made popular in the 1950s by Angela Maria.
		Even though Babalu had always been a happy person, he felt anxiety about his work in the laboratory and had a feeling that he had something else inside -- like the feeling of a hiccup waiting to be expelled.

	OnMilwaukee.com Bars and Clubs: El Babalu es muy bueno
		When hip Cuban band leader Desi Arnaz, best remembered for his role as Ricky Ricardo in "I Love Lucy," sang his song "Babalu," few people knew he was singing to an African god brought to the Caribbean islands by African slaves.
		El Babalu has a fully stocked bar with everything from margaritas ($5) to Cosmopolitans ($8) to imported beers such as Negro Modelo ($4), Corona ($3.50) and Tecate ($3.50) and is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 4:30-9 p.m.
		"Babalu is the deity of good fortune and prosperity," says John Jaquez, owner of El Babalu Caribbean Club and Restaurant, 611 W. National Ave., explaining where the name of his Walker's Point establishment originates.

	Babalu Music!
		The music video for the song "Babalu Music" is, of course, included.
		A "limited edition" home video version of this album was released in 1991, featuring performances by Desi Arnaz of most of the songs...and memorable clips from the I Love Lucy television series.
		Since Al is credited as producer of this compilation, some nutball at Columbia who was putting together a CD single of Jim Carrey's performance of "Cuban Pete" from the movie The Mask took that to mean that Al was the original producer on all of the individual tracks, too.

	Jorge Moreno: “Moreno”
		The album is composed of classic songs, such as “Babalú,” “Reloj” and “Como fue,” and of songs that came out of Moreno’s own inspiration.
		A song that’s reborn in this album is the funny “Babalú,” made popular by Desi Arnaz in the 50’s popular show “I Love Lucy.&; “Babalú” has strong afro-cuban influences, and this new version was presented in the 50th anniversary special for “I Love Lucy&; show.
		Is because of this that this album is like taking a course in music history taught by a great teacher.

	Article: Yoruba Sacred Music, Old World and New
		Female akpwons (lead singers) are a fairly rare breed in Lucumí music so Marta Galarraga's strong presence on this CD is perhaps its most notable feature, along with a song for Babalu Aye which is performed a cappella with only hand clapping as accompaniment.
		Various musical and ethnic strains merged, resulting in the loss of specific national characteristics and producing a creolized repertoire which now functions as a unifying medium for entertainment, worship and healing across a broad cross section of Carriacouan society.
		The fourth, and final chapter, is devoted to transcriptions of the series of rhythmic praises known as the Oru del Igbodu (incitement of the Igbodu) or Oru Seco (unadorned drumming) which is performed in the inner sanctuary of an Ile Ocha (orisha temple) in advance of the main public section of a bembe (santeria ceremony).

	Desi Arnaz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arnaz was also a successful recording artist, beginning in 1937, and had a hit with the voodoo-flavored "Babalu" (1946), his signature song, which was recorded at RCA Victor.

		Arnaz was also suffering from diverticulitis, probably as a result of alcohol abuse.

	Solid! -- The Best of Desi Arnaz the Mambo King
		Standard Arnaz tunes like ''Babalu,'' '' El Cumbanchero'' and ''Cuban Pete'' are present, but Desi's excellent sense of rhythm and showmanship are also given their proper light.
		Integrating traditional Latin sounds with American orchestration, Desi melded a true blend of cultures, very apparent on such numbers as ''I Come from New York'' and ''Straw Hat Song,'' which was described by RCA at the time as a ''boogie rumba.''
		Desi Arnaz was one of the greatest bandleaders of the twentieth century.
