She looks familiar...although somewhat drag queenish on the left lp cover...

I was REALLY excited when I found this one in a box among a hundred boxes of records at our local public radio used record sale several years ago...I was flipping thru lps like a madman because I only had an hour before work and caught a glimpse of it and let out a "yelp" and flipped back and grabbed it. The lady across looked at me strangely and I explained how RARE this lp was & it's the first time I've ever SEEN it in person & , "hell yeah, for $2..I EXCITED!!" Monta Moya & The Surfers for all the world sound like Cal Jader. Tracks include: Black orchid, Masa coti, Mose's mambo, etc.
I love the liner notes: Pecussionata is a sound painting representing some of the most beautiful & exotic regions on this earth, portrayed in sound is the native art of living gracefully, simply, & happily for all those who visit or remain at a tropical paradise. The ebb & flow of the sea, tradewind breezes thru palm trees & the rainbow coloring of flowers are expressed in these songs. The rhythms are woven into a fascinating, percussive & provacative musical safari into the mysteries of this exotic culture." Man..it makes me feel so SPECIAL...:)
