Voulez-vous Cha-cha?

Tropical music and France go way back. Indeed, this tropism for exotic music, not without the mannerisms that go with it, has been around. In pre-World War 2 Paris, from Montparnasse to Montmartre, dancing clubs bloomed throughout the capital while the World Exhibition sold a rather uncertain idea of the other tropics: a discounted and fantasized exotic dream of island life. After the Second World War, it just started all over again. At the time, Latin-style combos were all the rage in France such as the chachacha which was officially invented in the early 1950s by Enrique Jorrin, soon followed by the pachanga. With the approach of the 1960s, typical music styles were found all over the country, from the northern plains to the southern sea. After all, one must sell records to the youth, at all costs and any price. These 7-inch vinyl records were therefore recorded at Barclay and Vogue. Most had improbable dialogue, as well as senseless adaptations such as the 'Marchand De Melons' distorting Herbie Hancock's 'Watermelon Man'. But in general, it all definitely swings and is sometimes even quite impressive. LP comes with download code.
