The album, even though produced over 55 years ago, was produced as a gate-fold with booklet attached within. Los Reyes Magos (The Magi or The Three Kings)
Originally released by Phillips as part of its “Connoisseur Collection”, the recogniseable orange cover is much sought after by collectors. The resulting record was a huge worldwide success. He gained this reputation in 1964 when he conducted and recorded this work – Misa Criolla. He is one of the significant popular composers of our time. He was born in September 1921, and passed on in February 2010.

The music is the brilliant work of a man who is often simply known as Ramirez, but his full name is Ariel Ramirez and he was an Argentine composer, music director and pianist.

It is also one of the most superb compositions of its kind and is a series of true celebratory pieces of music – and coming from an old agnostic like myself, that is high praise indeed for a piece of “religious” based music. It is generally classified as Latin American – Religious, and it certainly is Latin American, and as we shall discuss shortly, it is “religious”. The album is Misa Criolla by Los Fronterizos. Misa Criolla (incorporating Navidad Nuestra – “Our Nativity”) has been performed by a number of artists, but the whole work was recorded with Los Fronterizos and I fell in love with this work in the 1970’s. It isn’t R&R, it isn’t Blues, it isn’t R&B or Jazz, it isn’t any form of Western Swing, Pop or Country & Western and it certainly isn’t any form of Rap or Electronic – it is quite different to all these forms. This album is as different as any album I have pulled from either my Cd or vinyl LP rack. From review 101 onward I have mixed vinyl and CD albums and, try and present an Australian album every fifth review! Links to these reviews can be found at the bottom of this page. The first fifty reviews were vinyl only, and the second fifty reviews were CD’s only. The series is called “Cream of The Crate” and each review represents an album that I believe is of significant musical value, either because of it’s rarity, because it represents the best of a style or styles of music or because there is something unique about the group or the music. This is album review number one hundred and four in the series of retro-reviews of both vinyl and Cd albums in my collection.
