Here’s a fun album that’s sure to irritate Classical musicians and delight bongo fans. Classical standbys by Debussy and others, arranged with a swingin’ Latin beat. Surprisingly sweet and listenable. I tried looking for some info on Galian, but aside from the occasional listing at used record stores (and this photograph,) he seems to be practically unknown. I have a few other LPs from “Discos Corona,” and they’re almost always a good listen.

Yes indeed the album is excellent, and I’ve never hear anything about Galian or discos Corona, bot I would love to listen to Ritmo Erotico or Eddie Encinas’ albums, by the way thanks for the link, just found about your site today.

How’s it going?,
I’ve been trying to find another Discos Corona LP(better yet a CD)of Alicia Rivera. Actually there’s two I’m trying to find, Debil Mariposa & Mis Canciones De Amor. The no.’s on the LP are DCL 1028-2 & DCL 1029-2 respectively.
If you have any info on where to get these, or any kind of info actually, I would really appreciate it. THANX~
If you want information on Geri Galian, I might be able to provide it as I am his daughter. *smile*
Maria:
Did your father dance with a person whose last name was Searle? If so what was her first name?

Geri Galian was an amazing artist! I have all his albums
Hello Maria,
I think we’re related. Your father’s mother was my father’s
sister. Your father was quite a bit older than me, so I
never got to know him well. I do remember he had a little
girl who was about three or four when I as about eight or
nine.
Regards,
Gloria
Both as an Artist and a drummer, I greatly admire his
playing sensibility. This is one person I truly wished
I could have met. (Entre Nous)
