What the Critics Say
Olé is the first great Cugat 12" LP of new material. Also, it may be the first appearance of the fantastic Abbe Lane, his third and most illustrious wife, on a Cugat album. She sings "Strangers in the Dark," as well as the mambos "Anything Can Happen" and "Humpty Dumpty." But the real vocal star performance is Juan Manuel's rendering of "Aficano Soy," an Afro-Cuban at least as affecting as "Babalu." Further treats include the very exotic instrumentals "The Americano" and "Flute Nightmare." The liner notes and careful attention to author credits indicate a deliberate departure from the sheer pop of previous albums. With a gorgeous jacket, this is one not to miss -- what old vinyl is all about. ~ Tony Wilds, All Music Guide
