Pepe Jaramillo

The world of lounge, exotica and easy listening is a bottomless pit, with an unfathomable amount of golden material buried under crap music every day. Who would have thought the talented Mexican pianist Pepe Jaramillo will one day be forgotten? These three songs are from his 1960 album South of the Border released only on vinyl. An absolute beauty with nary a bad song, including covers of Ernesto Lecuona’s Siboney and the mambo classic Sway among others.

  • Great to find your web site! I'm an afficionado of exotica, bossa nova, cha-cha, lounge and mambo. Have been collecting LP's of this music since 1975. I just got hip to Pepe Jaramillo. I'm kinda shocked that I'd never heard of him before now.
    Thanks for posting the 3 songs. His arrangement of Siboney is especially good.
    I collect LP's 45's and 78's, and 16mm films.
