Found this one yesterday in an excellent second hand store in Rotterdam called Demon Fuzz. Check out that sleeve - it's beautiful. I love "El porompompero", the way Escobar ends each verse with the first two syllables of the next. Nice. The song is also featured on the other Manolo Escobar single I have. The words to "El primer bautizo" make me feel kind of incomfortable - it's an unashamedly cheesy song about how proud he feels to witness his firstborn getting baptised. I suppose you have to have a firstborn getting baptised to feel this song. And a devoted catholic who understands Spanish, of course.
