A repackaged version of the album Que Mango – a later album, but one that still features
Les doing some great Latiny bits – heading up the
101 Strings ensemble, for a sweeping and groovy kind of sound! The whole album's very similar to some of
Les' Capitol work from the early 60s, but has a slightly more modern twist – including the use of electric bass underneath the arrangements, which creates a really nice gently loping groove! One of
Les' best – despite the late date – and with tracks that include "Jungle Montuno", "Que Mango", "Bocha Chica", "Affair In Aruba", and "Tropicando". Very groovy, baby!
