Post a comment Search on Ebay Search on GEMM | | An upbeat album, with a handful of really outstanding latin 'beat' tracks, with a stomping, 'now sound'-type feeling which is somewhere between the 'discotheque' sound and the kind of mod pop sound found on slightly later records. Hmm, was that a good description? I think not, sorry. The liner notes describe it as having a 'sensuous beat', which sounds about right.
Anyway, the album's contents are mainly versions of famous songs, sung in Spanish, such as Yesterday ('ayer'), Call me ('Dimelo') and A Taste of Honey ('Un gusto a miel'). Some are great, others slightly less so. The highlights are probably the two numbers which Brad Bigelow, owner of the excellent Space age pop site put on a tape for me about five years ago: 'Carcara' and '1-2-3'. Both are short but great showstoppers with a pulsating latin beat. | Nancy Ames recommendations at Musical Taste Carcara
