“Sapo Astronauta” Reginaldo Bessa / Esther Glanzer (1969)   Brazil   I know this is a children’s record but not much more.   Perhaps one of our friends in Brazil can shed some light on the music inside.

Exotic dancers

IMG_3413

Esquivel and his Orchestra   “Strings Aflame” (1958)   Vik   Alternate Cover from Argentina.   Here’s the original RCA Victor cover:

aflame

Despite the “strings” in the title, this one actually swings quite well, and has a bit of an exotic gypsy flavor to it, augmented by cool spacey production that makes the strings hum with a strange other-worldly tonality. The set’s filled with the usual crazy Esquivel arrangements, and includes the cuts “Turkish March”, “Andalusian Sky”, “Misirlou”, and “Gypsy Lament”.   (Dusty Groove)
