spanish, mexican & turkish folk songs

We’ve gone all the way back to the beginning of Elektra Records for this reissue- in fact, Turkish & Spanish Folksongs and Mexican Folk Songs were the sixth and eighth releases from the label, originally issued on 10” LP in 1953! And as soon as you hear Cynthia Gooding’s husky contralto caress these impeccably researched and interpreted songs, you will understand why she was one of Jac Holzman’s first signings, and why she was an early mainstay of the Greenwich Village folk scene. Includes Sakrya; Ankaraning Tasina Bak; Eminem; Katip; Yashi Meral; Donde Vas Rey Alfonsito; Tres Moricas- Anda Diciendo; Conde Olinos; Eres Alta y Delgada- La Molinera; La Bamba; La Llorona; El Palo Verde; Rosita Alvirez; Roman Castillo; El Tecolote; General Felipe Angeles, and Que Linda Esta La Manana.
