"La Conga Congo Conga", Desi Arnaz and his Orchestra - Columbia 35402 
(12/23/1939)

Is it just me or does it seem a little cold outside?
Time for a mental vacation?
How about some place a little Latin - like Cuba?

This weeks theme: the Conga

CONGA LINES ARE NOW FORMING!

One and two and three - kick!
One and two and three - kick!
You got it, now get going!

You probably think of Desi Arnaz as Lucille Ball's husband both in real life 
and on the classic 1950s sitcom "I Love Lucy".
But long before he was "Ricky Ricardo", he was a famous Cuban-American band 
leader and performer.
He is credited with having introduced the "Conga Line" in 1937 - the dance 
sensation that swept the nation in the 1940s and 1950s - and is still going 
strong today :-)

One and two and three - kick!
