The two songs on this record have a lot of energy, display great musicianship, and are very entertaining.

"Me Lo Dijo Adela" (or "Adela Told Me") was probably the most famous song written by the Cuban born Otilio Portal (1915 - 2009). It was a great hit as performed by Bobby Capo. The melody was recast as an "American" song, still a chacha, retitled as "Sweet and Gentle" that was performed by Georgia Gibbs, Eartha Kitt, and Alan Dale (whose rendition charted at #10 in 1955).
This obscure record is part of the Strachwitz Frontera Collection of Mexican and Mexican American Recordings, which is a joint project of the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Project and the Arhoolie Foundation.
