This Is Roberto Delgado [1970]



Very nice 10 track sampler of Roberto Delgado's 60s work, featuring the latin sounds of Spanish Eyes, El Paloma, Rhumba Tamba, Taboo, and 6 other great tracks.

[From the sleeve notes]

''The heat of the tropical sun, the excitement of the carnival, all the fire of Latin America, this is the music of Roberto Delgado. Audiences in the sophisticated continental nightclubs have thrilled to the music of Roberto Delgado, many record buyers in this country have for long known the excitement of his records in fabulous stereo, now, to bring his music to a wider audience we bring you a selection of some of the best of Roberto Delgado so that you too may thrill to the magic of far-away nights in exotic places. Come, hear, be conquered by the scintillating sound of Roberto Delgado.''

Mountain Carnival - Manuel & The Music Of The Mountains [1961]

More great latin moods from Geoff Love as Manuel. Like the previous post, the LP sounds great and will be enjoyed by all lovers of exotica and Easy Listening. I hope you enjoy it, and would love to hear a comment from you if you do enjoy this, or any other of my posts. Carnival from Mediafire

I didn't know what I was getting with this one, when I found it recently in a charity shop. But I took a chance on it anyway, as it was so ridiculously cheap.
I was expecting another typical Hawaiian guitar album, a genre I'm not paticularly keen on, but the clue should've been the name Martin Denny. It is truly amazing! A terrific mix of exotica and 60s beat a go go!
The arrangement on "Call Me" is virtually the same as the excellent Chris Montez version and is typical of the arrangements on Side 1. On side 2 tracks are more sedate exotica, but still very satisfying.
Vinyl is in excellent condition, so please do enjoy!
