I know a few people here have fine collections
of LPs so hopefully some one will be able to
help me out.

I am looking for LPs by Arturo Motta, a
Latin American band leader from the 1950s.
If anyone here has any vinyl by this orchestra,
I would very much like to borrow/rent it for
transcription.



Iain, when it comes to vinyl, eBay first and foremost is your 'friend':

Excellent Keith. Many thanks


But, "Chicaboums" ???

I think Motta translates as Smith.
Do you think he was "Arfur Mott" to
his Mum, or Smiffy to his school mates?

It wouldn't be the first time. Roberto
Inglez, the famous Brazilian/Chilean band
leader was actually Robert Ingles from
Elgin, Scotland.
