[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Xavier Cugat & His Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra - Brazil [1943]
I just looked through my old private tumblr posts and found this scrap of a post that I never posted— it is excessive but still it captures why this song captures my imagination:
There is a place where the only light is starlight and you don’t even miss the sun, what warmth there is you take in from the dream of dancing with your honey and with your friends; it is the fulfilled dream of an entire universe of people who are at their most glamorous and understood. it is the Algonquin Round Table minus the suicide attempts, it is the Birdland jazz club in 1952, it is that time you got that secret admirer note in 7th grade, that place is a Xavier Cugat song.
