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.


TIA

Iain

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.

Probably 'Binky' or 'Binkus' to his mum and 'That ****** Motty' to his
school chums....???

The best example of that sort of thing is the inimitable and *wicked good*
Dorita Y Pepe who came from somewhere like Tottenham but were so good they
played to vast audiences in Brasil or Argentina (maybe both):

I might have a Motta or I might only have a track on a compilation disc and
I know I've got a Mottola which which be a small version, but I *defnitely*
have a Dorita Y Pepe - say the word and I'll post a track!!

:-)

(All good *natural sounding*, valvey pre-digital stuff - I can't get enough
of it, me! :-)

See:

Real names Dorothy & Peter Sensier; English musicians specialising in South
American Folk Music. Peter Sensier (Pepe) died in 1978"


From he

And, incredibly, see this:

"A visual impression of Argentina, inspired by the country's folk music and
the return visit of Argentina's musical ambassadors, Dorita y Pepe."

Charity shops are a pretty long shot for an artists not well-known
in the UK, and even less so here in Scandinavia.

Probably not my "scene" either, Brian. I don't know.
But I try to approach every project with professional
enthusiasm:-) When I get the LP I will post a snippet.

Cheers
Iain
