Awesome on2 waiting to be named

Duly noted....

But the band is just Orquesta Tropical and yes they are from Chicago....but no reference in the name. They also have another album under the name of Sonora Tropical and again, don't reference the Chicago in their name....
 
salsaseb....can't see the picture b/c my work blocks blog photos....

but i have both lps at home and was looking at them last night....and neither of them reference chicago in the name

I forgot how to post pictures on here, but I'll see if I can scan both covers and plop them on here for reference......
 
by the way....as i remember now....there are 2 issues of that album. There is the original album which is black with a giant sun-looking image with the pictures of the musicians around on the rays and Menique right in the middle of the sun on the Tropical Magic Entertainment label, TM 1001. The other is the bootleg out of Colombia, I think, which is an orange cover with some palm trees penciled in and a picture of menique....and that one I can see the band being called La orquesta Tropical de Chicago - - mainly b/c that record being issued in Colombia, it needed some geographic reference.

I have the original....black album....I've seen the other but wasn't interested.

Thanks for the info! I've also seen both covers. I had no idea the pink one was a bootleg. Meñique does use the name "Tropical de Chicago" in the interview, albeit after the interviewer does first. Please check your cover for any reference!
