This review is from: 1932-1939 (Audio CD)

Perky "tipica" recordings of one of the best Latin American bands in Paris during the Great Depression era... Pianist/flautist Oscar Calle formed his band in part with seasoned musicians from the recently-disbanded Don Apiazu Orchestra, and while this was clearly music meant for dancing, there's also a deep streak of hardcore Afro-Cuban percussion running thoughout. The opening numbers on this disc feature female vocals by Joaquina Serrano, the male vocals on later tracks are a bit cornier, but no less enjoyable. Another great archival release from the folks at Interstate Music!
