Because I am but a nose-picking philistine American I did not know the name Rafael Hernandez. But when I heard some of his songs as interpreted by an instrumental combo led by Luisito Benjamin, even I recognized a few. This is an early Ansonia record so that's just icing on the cake. Nice stuff here.

Because I am but a philistine Greek, I did not know too, that Rafael Hernandez has composed such scandalously famous standards, like "Cachita" and the Himno Latinoamericano, "Cumbanchero"...
I am a nose-picking philistine Uruguian/Italian I never heard know the name Rafael Hernandez. Granddad music. Marvelous. Shall we dance?
