“Moliendo Café“ is a Venezuelan song that has become popular around the world. The song has more than 800 versions in many languages.. The authorship of the song is disputed between Hugo Blanco and his maternal uncle, Jose Manzo Perroni. According to Hugo Blanco, he composed the song in 1958, and since he was not of age (he was 17 years old), he asked his uncle to register the work for him at SACVEN (Sociedad de Autores y Compositores de Venezuela). A few years later, Jose Manzo Perroni sued his nephew for appropriating the work, claiming that it was he who composed the song, and that his nephew had stolen the melody. The first to record “Moliendo Café“ was Mario Suárez in 1958; Hugo Blanco did not record it himself until 1961. Blanco’s version hit #1 in Argentina and Japan in 1961.
