This is one of the records my mother must have bought for me and my little brother when we were living in dushi Kòrsou (I also own an LP by them). Perlitas is a children’s choir led by singer/composer Rudy Plaate. I think the most famous singer coming from the choir is Izaline Callister – check a video of her singing “Cielito lindo” with Perlitas:

The single makes me want to go back to the island of which I have few but very nice memories. Maybe I should.
