Samba, Rhumba, Cha Cha Cha (1034)
During the hi-fi era, the mambo and the bossa nova ruled but there were other Latin styles that also made the scene. This time on the show, we look at the samba, rhumba, and the cha-cha-cha. We’ll get a sampling of some of the fun and sometimes strange records that came out highlighting these musical styles. We’ll hear from Dean Martin, Peggy Lee, Xavier Cugat, Art Mooney, and many more.
