What a smart man Mr. Cugat cuts on this picture sleeve, a masterful shaker of the maracas as well. You can’t fail to have your hips move to this mischievous Latin lounge swing.

Friday cha-cha from Cal Tjader. If you don’t know the track by name, you may do once you hear it as it was a hit in the early sixties in the States and remains a better known latin jazz composition. Originally called Gauchi Guaro (spelt slightly differently on this release however it’s a nonsensical Spanish phrase), it was given a catchier title by one of his band members who maintained that it was spicier than the original by Dizzy Gillespie.
