A lawyer for Bill Gross said his Latino property manager will testify that he was responsible for the Spanish music that boomed from the billionaire’s California oceanfront home on weekdays when Gross wasn’t home.

The manager, Efrain Alba, will take the stand as early as Thursday to say he liked to listen to Spanish tunes and didn’t mean to annoy a neighbor, a lawyer for Gross, co-founder of Pacific Investment Management Co., said at a hearing in state court in Santa Ana.
