10 Sep 00 - 07:39 AM (#294499) Subject: Ritmo Tambo From: Callie I have a song on a cassette I've had for some years. It sounds Afro Cuban to me, and the only words I can make out are in the chorus: "ritmo tambo i flores". It has a big-band sound and very rhythmical. unfortunately, I did not label the cassette and have no info about it. Does anyone have any idea what the song is, the author and the country of origin? many thanks Callie |

It looks like she had "Ritmo Tambo y Flores" on her album 'Queen of the Rumba." Is it a woman singing? ---Lepus Rex |
