Used by many universities as part of their ethno-musicology curriculum, this album is a collection of Puerto Rican folk songs personally recorded in 1956 by William S. Marlens, a Brooklyn born man of Latvian descent, who served as a Captain in WWII and later, after years of dentistry practice in the Bronx, was so taken by his patient's descriptions of the island that he visited Puerto Rico and make these tape recordings. All the songs were spur of the moment with no rehearsal.
