Various Mambo, Cha Cha Cha & Calypso Vol.1 Girl Session (LP & CD)

(Jukebox Music Factory) 16 tracks

Following the “0-Rama” and “Supersound” compilations, the “Jukebox Music Factory” by good ol’ El Vidocq begins a brand-new oh-so-caliente collection. Aptly named “Mambo, Cha-Cha-Cha & Calypso”, this swinging program comprises several sessions, for the musical production of the ‘50s and ‘60s was phenomenally rich.

This new theme opens with a vibrant tribute to the ladies: a 100% female tracklist to emancipate your hips and feminize your soul! Groove to established artists (Lavern Baker, Big Maybelle, Georgia Gibbs, Kay Starr), Hollywood actresses (Miss X, Francis Faye, Joséphine Premice, Dolores Gray) and shooting stars (Patty Brandon, Anna Valentino, Ruby Dandridge).

Exploring a variety of registers (jazzy, sensual, roots, fast & furious), these dames and damsels will delight you with their tropical rhythms. Anything but square or out-of-date, these fairer-sex tunes are sure to surprise you with their fabulous finesse and amazing modernity.
