Just wanted to hip some folks onto some recent or upcoming releases that may interest exotica enthusiasts.

Blue Note has recently reissued "The Aztec Suite" by trumpeter Art Farmer, composed and arranged by the great Chico O'Farrill:

One of my favorite classical LPs with a post-Rite of Spring primitivism vibe is the Everest album with the mask on the cover, featuring Ginastera's "Panambi" suite and Antill's "Corroboree" suite.
It has been nearly impossible to find the full length Corroboree, but Naxos is releasing it in a few days:

Finally, two hard to find Villa-Lobos pieces that were originally on LP are finally making it to CD: Nonetto and Quatuor:

You simply WILL NOT BELIEVE Nonetto. It is like the missing link between Debussy and Les Baxter!

Happy listening!
