The best of Edmundo Ros, his Rumba Band and Orchestra from his biggest US hit ‘The Wedding Samba’ in 1950 to his very first Bossa Nova recording in 1962. A celebration of one of the most prolific recording artists of the 1950s & 60s.The set features several tracks issued on CD for the first time and many in their original mono form, only previously released digitally with added reverb. Whilst Ros’ albums were usually themed affairs, his singles covered every one of his styles of music with Latin takes on everything from Football songs to Scotland the Brave, standards and originals.
