Machito and His Afro-Cuban Orchestra

Artist: Machito and His Afro-Cuban Orchestra

LP: Mambo Holiday
Song: "Bee-Ree-Bee"
[ listen ]

Here's a lively little Latin number to kick off a lazy October weekend. You can read about Machito and His Afro-Cuban Orchestra here and here. I wish I'd heard of the "Bee-Ree-Bee" a few days ago when I was playing Lexulous and had nothing on my rack but a whole bunch of the letter 'E.' I've played four games of Lexulous so far (the Facebook version of Scrabble) and I've lost every time. I'm looking for some new opponents who aren't very smart. If you're interested, let me know.
