La Pachanga - Rafael Seijo

Pachanga Brasilera
La Pachanga
Con Orquestra Charanga
Direction Rafael Seijo
Somerset SF-14200
1961

Here's a Somerset album that was apparently manufactured for the Latin American market in the U.S. or for export? The brief jacket notes are printed bi-lingual but offer no real insight.

You get the fab cheesecake cover and music of surprising high quality. Not that Somerset didn't release some good stuff, they did. But this music rises above the traditional Somerset fare and comes off  (for the period) as enjoyable modern space age Latin.
