4.0 out of 5 stars Old-fashioned light Latin dance music, June 21, 2003

This review is from: Amigos Panamericanos (Audio CD)

Cuban-born flautist Alberto Socarras, a veteran of the early American jazz, swing and Latin dance scenes and Puerto Rican pianist Noro Morales first teamed together in the 1930s, and later collaborated on these radio transcription recordings, made for the Lang-Worth company in the 1940s. It's delightful light dance fare, brisk, corny, economical, and clearly influenced by the shmaltzy, highly successful recordings of Xavier Cugat, the then-king of Latin dance material. Not very vigorous, but easy on the ears, and easy to dance to as well. A few vocal numbers, but it's mainly instrumentals on this collection.
