In 1964, Martin Denny looked beyond the Hawaiian and Asian influences of his previous records to find another place to plant his umbrella in the sand, as well as in your drink: the sounds of Latin America. With this new sound to hang his exciting arrangements on, Latin illage has long been considered one of Denny's high-water marks, and Jackpot is thrilled to have this long-cherished LP back in print.
This is an album that rips through what was considered "The Now Sound From Overseas," a sophisticated mash-up of sambas, bossa novas, and Latin jazz. From the first track, Angelito (the hit song written by Réne y Réne, later to also be covered by Trini Lopez & Herb Albert), ll the way through to its closer, Flying Down To Rio (a song which Roxy Music later referenced in their 1972 song "Virginia Plain”), the album is a hypnotic listen.
