Amparo Ramos Correa (December 30, 1944 – March 15, 2004) was a popular Colombian dancer famous as a celebrity in the Feria de Cali and as a dancer for several popular Latin musicians.
Later she became the most popular dancer of the annual Santiago de Cali Fair.
[1] Her prominence as dancer began in the 1960s, thanks to recognition of Dámaso Pérez Prado, "The King of Mambo",[2] who invited her to join to his dance group.
Afterwards, the Puerto Rican salsa duo Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz[3] increased her fame when they released their 1970 album Agúzate containing the well-known tune "Amparo Arrebato", composed in honor of the then 23-year-old dancer.
Amparo died of a heart attack at a hospital in Cali at the age of 59.
