RCA Victor

1955.
No cover artist listed.

Excerpt from the back:
"The Suite opens with soft, mysterious beatings on the tom-tom, depicting an African dawn—the throbbing becomes increasingly more frantic until it is joined by a series of softly chanting voices. The drums become more fiercely predominant, introducing a heated vocal exchange. The music recedes and starts to build slowly again, with brass and percussion still predominant, spelling out the early African setting. A fast jazz figure enters, featuring a walking bass, after which the entire band pours in, preluding an extended sax solo. The part ends with a jazz figure punched out by screeching trumpet notes."

I found this at a Salvation Army without a record inside but I liked the cover so much I shelled out 25¢ for it. Really wish I had a chance to hear the music, but Perez Prado stuff is easy to find. I wonder where that LP is now...
