BEST LATIN MUSIC

La familia Lebrón se inició en el pueblo de Aguadilla, Puerto Rico y continuó creciendo en el sector negro de Brooklyn, Nueva York, ciudad a la que llegaron sus padres en 1952. Pablo, María, José, Ángel, Carlos y Franky se educaron en un ambiente netamente musical y con sabor a su tierra natal… el padre escribía décimas y en la familia la mayoría eran músicos y tocaban cuatro y guitarra, además de cantar. Pablo Lebrón, quien se destacó por su voz, nació el 30 de junio de 1937, el único que vivió su infancia y adolescencia en el pueblo de Aguadilla, en Puerto Rico. En 1954 organizó el grupo Las Tres Monedas, el cual sirvió de inspiración para sus hermanos, y en 1965 fundó la Orquesta Arecibeña. Por su parte, sus hermanos Ángel y José Lebrón, en 1962 organizaron su primera agrupación, en la que también integraron a su primo José Manuel. La llamaron Los Eltones. En una ocasión Pablo, que estaba con su Orquesta Arecibeña en el club Las Vegas de Brooklyn, logró que el dueño del local les diera una oportunidad. De esa manera, la agrupación, que desde entonces se nombró Ángel Lebrón y su Combo, comenzó a trabajar de lunes a viernes en el club interpretando los éxitos del cancionero popular afroamericano.

Composer Monty Norman was selected by producer Albert R. Broccoli after Broccoli backed a musical of Norman's Belle or The Ballad of Dr. Crippen written by Wolf Mankowitz, a frequent collaborator with Norman and an original screenwriter for Dr. No. Norman's only previous film score had been The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960). Norman traveled to Jamaica on the same chartered aircraft as the producers and many of the film's crew arriving on 14 January 1962. He met Chris Blackwell, a location scout and production assistant recommended to the producers by Ian Fleming. Blackwell introduced Norman to Byron Lee and the Dragonaires who performed the Jamaican music in the film. Lee and his band including guitarist Ernest Ranglin and trombonist Carlos Malcolm recorded the Jamaican parts of the score in Kingston's Federal Studios, with Norman himself and his then wife Diana Coupland who accompanied Norman on the airplane containing the film's crew to Jamaica, recording vocals along with Byron Lee and the Dragonaires who appear in the film performing "Jump Up". The song "Under the Mango Tree" was performed by an uncredited Diana Coupland, backed by Ernest Ranglin on guitar. Ranglin also played on several other tracks. Lee recalled that most of their work was not used in the completed film but appeared on the soundtrack album.

In May 1958, Peggy Lee recorded a cover version of the song in Hollywood, which featured significantly rewritten lyrics composed by Lee herself without credit. "Fever" was not included on Lee's album Things Are Swingin' when it was first released in 1959; however it was listed as a bonus track on its 2004 reissue release.The uncopyrighted lyrics by Lee featured historical invocations (including the verses beginning "Romeo loved Juliet," and "Captain Smith and Pocahontas") and are now generally thought of as a standard part of the song; they have been included in most subsequent covers of "Fever".

"Goodness Gracious Me" is a comedy song recorded by Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren. Released by Parlophone, it was a top 5 UK single in 1960. It features Sellers acting the role of an Indian doctor, and Loren of his wealthy Italian patient – who fall in love. The song was conceived and instigated by George Martin, who was the producer at that time of Peter Sellers's comedy recordings. Martin commissioned David Lee and Herbert Kretzmer to write the song. Martin himself produced the recording. Martin envisaged the song as a recording to be incorporated in the soundtrack of the film The Millionairess which was being filmed at that time starring Sellers and Loren. However, the film's producers did not share his enthusiasm for including the song in the film's soundtrack and did not utilize it. The studio was however happy to see the song released as a stand-alone single to promote the film. In becoming a chart hit it succeeded in publicizing the film.

A Taste of Tequila is an album by jazz trumpeter Chet Baker and the Mariachi Brass recorded in 1965 and released on the World Pacific label. During 1965-1966, he cut six remarkably commercial throwaways for the once viable World Pacific label. A Taste of Tequila was the first, featuring Baker's unenthusiastic solos on ten poppish tunes while joined by the Mariachi Brass, a rather weak derivative of the Tijuana Brass.

Nina’s “Sealine Woman” is a 19th century seaport song about sailors and prostitutes. The sailors would come into port (Charleston or New Orleans perhaps). Women of the pleasure quarters would be waiting, lined up dockside. Their dress c0lors signified the specific delights they offered. That is what the song is really about. Nina sang it many different ways, often changing the lyrics. Here are most of them. It’s a slippery thing, this song; the lyrics and song title always change according to who you ask.

The albums that Eddie and Cal made together made music history in both the salsa and jazz worlds and made for a perfect marriage of both genres. The birth of Latin Jazz undoubtedly owes much to their collaborations. All of their albums were excellent but this one is my personal favorite.

ALBÚM KETUCUBA. Ketukuba stands as a tribute to the late Gnonnas Pedro, Benin's favorite son, who sang with Africando from 1996 until his death in 2004. The title song was his last recording. Medoune Diallo, who earned his reputation with Orchestre Baobob before casting his lot with the nascent Africando in 1992, adds to his distinguished repertoire with a duet with his son, Lodia Mansour, a rising star in Senegal today. Other Africando stalwarts, Amadou Ballaké (Burkina Faso's pre-eminent singer) and Sékouba Bambino (the ''baby'' star of Guinea's Bembeya Jazz National) also contribute standout songs to the new album. American salsero Joe King gives a rousing rendition of the Fania All-Stars classic Nina Nina. And Congolese star Madilu ''System'' Bialu joins Africando for a sparkling Latin-styled version of Mario, the landmark hit he originally recorded with Franco's T.P.O.K. Jazz in 1985. (He died a year after making this record.) The sparking arrangements for Ketukuba are written and conducted by Nelson Hernandez, who is known for his work with Celia Cruz, Oscar D'Leon and many other Latin stars.
