Gladys León "Juegos De Amor" - 1964Egrem vinyl LP
Many people are familiar with 'Elena Burke', 'Omara Portuondo' 'Gina León' and the great 'Doris De La Torre', but not familiar with 'Gladys León', all great vocalists along with others in the musical "filin" (feeling) movement of the late 1950's into the 1960's.
"Many of the "filin" songs were interpreted as boleros with excellent orchestral arrangements including vanguard concepts and harmonization."
On this rare Egrem LP, 'Gladys León' sings beautiful lush "filin" boleros with a full orchestra with absolutely "superb" orchestrations.
There is a great interpretation of the Beny Moré classic, "Y Hoy Como Ayer" and several uptempo songs that were popularized by Pacho Alonso.
As the great 'Doris De La Torre' was able to sing in several languages including Russian, French, Italian and even Yidish... 'Gladys León' sings "Boccuccia Di Rosa" here in Italian.
The condition of this vinyl LP was not great, I used 'Goldwave V.5' to remove a lot of the surface sound (pops, clicks etc.).
A great recording, very hard to find.
