 +Turtle soup. I listened to "super GAGU(?)," a latin station here in NYC for a few months in 1991 or so, and this was the most memorable number I heard. I found the 12" about a year ago

 +This nifty seemingly faux-Latin (Castellanos?) 45 sounds authentic enough to me. Finding it pushed me over the edge into thinking I had enough material for this mix

 +The two Barretto (mid-'60s to mid-'70s spanning) numbers I have on K-tel-style comps of American hits. RB's El Watusi also appears, along with Mongo Santamaria's Watermelon Man and Viva Tirado, on the tremendous "Soul" volume of Rhino's Instrumental hits series. I don't know if Rene Bloch is latin, but Mambo Watusi rocks. (I don't have the Herbie Hancock version of Watermelon Man; if I did I might have thrown that in)

 +====== A certain kind of locationally oriented bombastic art rock "big songs" ======

 +
 +
 +Dave Cousins of The Strawbs and Peter Gabriel sound somewhat alike. When I was like 12 I read a review in which the third and fourth songs below were written about as being alike. This first set me on the trail of The Strawbs, who are kind of like a combination of Genesis and Jethro Tull, who, after several periods of bearing them in shame, I'm confident enough to say are two of my favorite groups, certainly my two favorite art rock groups
