Augie Colón
Chant Of The Jungle
1960

Ambient Exotica wrote:

"The percussionist and birdcaller of Martin Denny's group does it again: August "Augie" Colón (1928–2004) comes up with another – and final – solo album that is produced and arranged by Denny and played by unnamed session musicians, with Colón revising his role on exotic instruments such as the congas and the bongos. Whereas Colón is keen to present a true and down-to-earth take on Latin music that is freed from Hollywood's influence and its symphonic glitz on his solo debut Sophisticated Savage of 1959, the follow-up Chant Of The Jungle, released in 1960 on Denny's house label Liberty Records, makes quite a few striking omissions and changes the style in a bold way..."
