Free Music Notes for Hi Fi-esta: Perfect For Dancing/Dance Again
Free Music Review: fine Latin music for dancing that still blows me away...
Hit: 5 Stars
Edmundo Ros and His Orchestra certainly could turn out great Latin dancing music in their heyday! Edmundo Ros takes Latin pop and American pop music of the day and blends them into fantastic music for dancing. This album is an absolute must-have for people who enjoy retro Latin lounge or dancing music from the late1950s and early 1960s. The sound quality couldn't be better, we get some very energetic tunes and the variety of dance styles (merengue, cha cha, tango, and quick-step) impresses me.
The album has all the tracks from two of Edmundo Ros's record albums entitled Hi-Fiesta: Perfect For Dancing and Dance Again. The hits go all the way through the album! The track set starts with a beautiful rendition of "The Nearness Of You" with a cha cha twist; this will make you want to jump up and dance practically wherever you are! Good flute and percussion on "The Nearness Of You," too. There's also a Latin flavored "La Vie En Rose" which becomes very romantic in Edmundo Ros's care. Listen also for a Latin styled waltz with lots of good percussion entitled "The Rose In Her Hair."
"Under The Bridges Of Paris" really has that mambo beat; Edmundo Ros and His Orchestra play this flawlessly. "Estrellita" is another cha cha tune that truly IS perfect for dancing.
Listen also for a wonderful mambo rendition of "Patricia;" this begins with a few extra bars that I haven't heard before for this number and I like the way the band handles the bulk of the tune. "Tea For Two" also starts with a few extra bars of music before the main theme comes in--and man, how they play this so well. "Tea For Two" is one of my favorite numbers when played with a Latin beat. Awesome!
"Cocktails For Two" sports an excellent dancing beat; and "Mambo Number 5" has the capacity to make dancing to this music almost irresistible.
The liner notes are the original liner notes from the 1958 and 1962 record albums; and the artwork is good.
This is definitely one CD to get if you enjoy Latin dance music from the late 1950s and early 1960s. I highly recommend this for fans of lounge music as well.
