------------------------
''Tabú'' was written by Margarita Lecuona.
She was a cousin of the famous Cuban composer and pianist Ernesto Lecuona.
''Tabú'' (also recorded as Tabou, Tabu, and Taboo) is a jazz and popular music standard which was first recorded by Cuarteto Machin in 1934.
Bob Russell wrote an English language lyric which was used as early as the 1 February 1935 recording by Vic Berton and his Orchestra, issued on Vocalion 2974, c/w “Blue.”

Thank you good music 👍

[@ludvanbeethoven1]

How is it possible that I can’t find this song, album or band on Amazon music??

[@Tanzlappen]

This LP was produced on quite low budget and was never sold to an industry company. I think it would cost more to have it listed on any streaming platform than it will ever pay back. The first LP Cool Surfin‘ can at least be found on Apple Music. Sympathy For The Record Industry were kinda licensed, which means that before conditions were discussed the band received 100 CDs and had to accept this as a licence fee. Hardly any communication afterwards…
