PRADO, PEREZ & ORCH. - Exotic Suite Of The Americas / Voodoo Suite (Sealed) (LP)

180 gm LP Vinyl. The pairing of Perez Prado's two orchestral tone poems is something of an occasion to celebrate. 'The Exotic Suite of the Americas' and 'Voodoo Suite' are the defining moments in Prado's 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.
