The Case of the Mother's Day Latin Love Letter

Some lovely latin for the ladies today, y'all.
We are starting in with an elegant and swinging set of radio Havana; hits from the Golden Era of the 40s and 50s. Favorites like Celia Cruz and Beny More will be on hand. Several pachangas here from the hard-swinging Felix Chappottin. Focus on cha-cha-cha, with hints of danzon and guajira.
The second set is a bit of a new flavor for the show: "Fantasia" latin music here, mixing tunes from Brazil, Cuba, and Nueva Yorica. These could be dance numbers for lines of creole boys and girls in frilly shirts and skirts (ok, more like West Side Story costumes by the end of the set).
It's an altogether charming set of latin goodness today. Thanks moms, we love you!!
