Enric R. Madriguera (17 February 1902 – 7 September 1973) was a prominent Catalan-born violinist and bandleader who significantly contributed to the popularization of Latin American music in the United States. Born in Barcelona, Spain, Madriguera was a musical prodigy, performing concerts as a child before studying at the Barcelona Conservatory. He began his professional career as the lead violinist for Boston's Symphony orchestras and later became the conductor of the Cuban Philharmonic.

In the late 1920s, Madriguera moved to New York, where he played in Ben Selvin's studio orchestra at Columbia Records and briefly served as the company's director of Latin music recording. In 1932, he formed his own orchestra at the Biltmore Hotel, which became known for its Anglo-American dance music and jazz-inflected style. His orchestra recorded for Columbia until 1934, achieving a modest hit with a rhumba rendition of "Carioca."

By the 1930s, Madriguera's focus shifted almost exclusively to Latin American music. His composition "Adios" became a national hit in 1931 and served as the theme song for his radio appearances, where his band was billed as Enric Madriguera and His Music of the Americas. The U.S. State Department and South American ambassadors honored him with the title "Ambassador of Music to all the Americas."

Madriguera's orchestra featured a range of talented musicians and vocalists, including his wife, Patricia Gilmore. The band toured major hotels and theaters across the U.S. throughout the 1940s, maintaining its popularity until the decline of the Big Band era in the early 1950s. Following his retirement, Madriguera lived in Danbury, Connecticut, where he passed away in 1973. His legacy remains as a pioneer in bringing Latin dance music to American audiences.
