Volume 211: Percy's Cuba
from Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl Hosted by Frank Vaccariello
I’ve mentioned this a few times on this show. The Latin beat was extremely popular when my dad was a teenager and beyond. This record is a combination of taking that Latin beat, this time from a specific country, and arranging it with a plush orchestra. The orchestra conductor who arranged this music was considered the leader in a genre that infiltrated hundreds of radio stations in the 1960s. It’s still a term widely used to describe this sound. So get ready to hear the captain of the easy listening movement in Volume 211: Percy's Cuba. More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
