Marimba Mexico

This is from the Epic “International Series” and despite the rather “blah” cover, the music is quite good. According to the back cover, “… the marimba has the sweetness of a woman’s voice. The Marimba Mexico of Don Fortino is the best in the country. The arrangements are strictly for dancing and the repertoire is a varied program of cha cha chas, boleros, danzones and rhumbas — all instrumental and all flavored in the inimitable south-of-the-border manner.” This record is labeled “FOR DEMONSTRATION USE ONLY.” I bet they moved many a marimba with this one.
