The Clebanoff Strings - Jungle Drums

The Clebanoff Strings were created by the Russian born Herman Clebanoff (who emigrated to the US at a young age). At the end of the sixties decade several fabulous albums were issued - many of them having latin american music as a central theme. Here you can listen to a fine arrangement of Ernesto Lecuona's "Jungle drums". Lecuano - who composed more than 600 melodies (eg "Siboney", "Always in my heart" etc...) was a Cuban musician with many talents. He was a great pianist and the initiator of the "Lecuona Cuban Boys" - a band that performed his music all over the world.
In all his compositions the melody always came 'first' - and this is no different in his "Jungle drums". Enjoy !
