Artist: Arcaño y sus Maravillas
Author: Israel 'Cachao' López
Label: Gema
Year: 1957
An even older version as Rareza de Melitón ('42) credits both brothers López, Cachao (bass) and Orestes (piano). It's the pianoriff of this Antonio Arcaño tune that sounds immediately familiar.
Covers:
- 1959:
Tito Puente [on LP Mucho Cha Cha, re-arranged in '62 as Oye Como Va and taking all the credits; in 1990 at the Atlanta Jazz Festival, Cachao joined Tito Puente on stage during Oye Como Va, forcing the latter to admit Cachao (and Orestes) López's obvious influence]
- 1960:
Luis Andrés [from Colombia; as Mambologia, again with that very same piano riff, which earlier in '49 underlined Mambolandia by Julio Gutierrez (RCA Victor), crediting pianist Pedro Justiz (alias Peruchin)]
