180g Vinyl LP!
The pairing of Perez Prados two orchestral tone poems is something of an occasion to celebrate. The The Exotic Suite of the Americas and Voodoo Suite are the defining moments in Prados long career as King Of The Mambo. Though the Voodoo Suite, with its larger-than-life orchestra, six saxophones, three trombones, seven drummers, six trumpets, and more, was equal parts a Latin dance band and a jazz orchestra, its tight charts by Shorty Rogers made it a dramatic beast to wrestle and a sublime one to listen to. On The Exotic Suite of the Americas, Prado took a decidedly more laid-back approach and made his score more cinematic in scope and tone.
