SHREM'S WORLDLY DELIGHTS: "Taki Rari" - Yma Sumac + "Estaba Escrito" - Monna Bell

I've got two delicious vintage Latin recordings for you today. First up it's the legendary Peruvian soprano Yma Sumac and her exotic take-on mambo with "Taki Rari". Following this sonic otherworldliness we have a Chilean queen of merengue Miss Monna Bell and her "Estaba Escrito" a song maestro Pedro Almodovar used for his feature debut "Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón".

SHREM'S WORLDLY DELIGHTS: "BANZO" - Leny Andrade + "DEIXA A NEGA GINGAR" - Stan Guetz Quartet feat. Flora Purim

Leny Andrade, Flora Purim, Elza Soares - three Brazilian divas of the 1960's. Blissful, sophisticated and timeless sounds...

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "K.I.S.S.E.S." - Bent /// "Küsse süßer als Wein" - Nana Mouskouri (Nάνα Μούσχουρη)

These two tracks just naturally sound delicious when played back to back. The art of sampling at its most refined from English magicians of chilled out grooves. And the incomparable Miss Nάνα Μούσχουρη...

Two ladies. One Polish, one Danish. Two heartwarmingly old-fashioned early 1960's gems.

One of those timeless Hip-Hop singles of the 1990's. Check out also Aretha Franklin's wonderful "One Step Ahead" cleverly sampled on Mos Def's track.

SHREM'S WORLDLY DELIGHTS: "Amor Perfeito" - Elza Soares + "Que Pena (Ela já não gosta mais de mim)" - Gal Costa & Caetano Veloso

I have two sublime pieces from the never-ending resources of quality Brazilian music for you today. No other country had such an instantly recognisable, distinctive and unique sound back in the 60's and 70's. These two ladies sound gorgeous back to back. Beijinhos e abraçinhos para todos! ♡♡♡♡♡

SHREM'S VINTAGE CORNER: "Na drugim brzegu tęczy" - Breakout

This was always my mum's favourite band, their gritty sound was quite innovative and alternative in comparison with Polish mainstream music back in the 1960's. Mira Kubasińska remained for years one of the most charismatic and uncompromised Polish female vocalists. The sax intro is to die for... What a timeless gem...
