5.0 out of 5 stars First-rate Cuban dance music from the early '30s!, June 12, 2003
Delightfully corny Cuban music from the early thirties... Azpiazu's "El Manisero" ("The Peanut Vendor") was a colossal hit in 1931, and one of the earliest breakthroughs for Cuban music abroad. These songs were recorded in New York at the height of the Russ Columbo-and-Glen Gray-dominated crooner era, and bear all the goofy, loveably rinkydink musical hallmarks of the time (as well as a healthy dose of authentic Cuban rhythm). "El Manisero" features vocals by the muy fabuloso Antonio Machin, although other tracks on this CD have North Americanos who charmingly denude the music of its original bounce. Don't get me wrong: I *love* corny old music and this collection is well worth searching out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 1930's Cuban dance band, March 30, 2006
By papi-chulo (sant ana) - See all my reviews
Don Azpiazu led an exellent Cuban dance orchestra in the 1930's, and was largely responisble for influencing many other later afro-cuban jazz orchestras. Azpiazu's orchestra is tight, and peppy. They really sound great on "Peanut Vendor" and a song that sounds very similar to "When Youba plays the Rumba on the tuba". The vocals are great, the band plays exellent Cuban dance music . For those who want some pre Tito Puente Cuban orchestra music, this is what Cuban music sounded like before Puente, Machito, and thw whole Mambo, Salsa, afro Cuban jazz movement occured. This band is important historicly, even if there are not jazz solos, the music should interest those fans of 30's big bands, and swing. This is great stuff, and there are some rumba rhythms and some spicy exotic dance songs. Great 1930's Cuban American orchestra.
