¡Algo Diferent! - Paty y Mary

 

Espana En Cha Cha Cha

¡Algo Diferente!
A Bailar con Paty y Mary
Arreglos y Direction de Chuck Anderson
Columbia EX 5040

From the back cover: This record marks the debut in the United States of two enchanting young girls from Mexico City, Paty and Mary. The unique freshness and vitality of their singing is matched by the unique story that attends their discovery, and both give a special piquancy to this program of songs from Mexico, Europe and America.

One night not long ago, Mary was singing in a small café in Mexico City. Present was a talent scout from Columbia Records. He was immediately struck by the clarity and fullness of her voice as well as the rhythmic flair she gave her songs. Introducing himself, he made an appointment with Mary for the following day, to make a test recording.

When Mary arrived at the studios, she was accompanied by her sister Paty. As the recording session got under way, Paty withdrew to the sidelines to listen. Without realizing it, however, Paty began to sing along with her sister, and the blend of the two voices carried over the microphone into the control booth. The recording director listened with surprise and delight. Instead of discovering a new star, he had discovered two!

Before the test was completed, Paty and Mary were signed to record exclusively for Columbia, and plans were immediately made for their first record. Songs that were high on the Mexican hit parade were selected, including many that have attained international popularity, and this program is the delightful result. Listen as Paty and Mary sing their delectable interpretation of their favorite melodies.
