| An unreleased, instrumental take of this piece was released in 1997 on Rev-Ola's Mambo!... and More. Although not crucial to the Sumacian legacy, it does give the listener an excellent opportunity to concentrate on the type of arrangement typically used to support her singing. It is remakably colorful for its use of stringed instruments and different bowings. On its own it is a fine, atmospheric piece of exotica writing - enjoyable even without Yma's voice supplying the main melody. Although Les Baxter is not credited on this recording - except on the very first releases, I detect certain Baxterian effects in this and other songs on the album that would support the opposite. |
