After listening to a few numbers, I was ready to dismiss “Mi Amigo Machito” as simply derivative, with its blatting Pradoesque trombones punctuating some fairly standard cha cha arrangements. But as the album unfolded, up popped the dopey “No Down Payment on Love” (though FYI, you can put Love on layaway), and a cha cha version of “Song of India” and Israeli Sha Sha Sha (sic), providing enough mixed music metaphors to make my head spin, but not in an unpleasant way.
Were I not a 750 pound morbidly obese Belgian confined to my bed, I undoubtedly would be up around my room dancing to this swell album.

Hey thanks!
Since you don't get out much I'll have a waffle house send you a few orders.
Make my double extra large order of hash browns smothered, covered, diced, and peppered, please.
