Latin Baby ~ Disney’s Latin America Films

Disney has never released soundtracks for Saludos Amigos and The 3 Caballeros that feature the actual tracks from the films. In the 1940s, they released Charles Wolcott versions on official albums (they can be found at kiddierecords.com) and in the 1970s, they released a combo album called “Saludos Amigos” with new (mostly not-very-good) versions of songs from both films. If you want to hear more about the various soundtracks of these two films, you can check out Mousepod’s podcast on both of them, it includes a complete history.

BUT WAIT!!! With an audio capture program, I have obtained a partial version of the Saludos Amigos cut of “Aquarela do Brasil” by Aloysio Oliveira and “Tico Tico no Fubá” (instrumental) by Zequínha de Abreu. Check ‘em out!!!! I sincerely hope that Disney will release an official soundtrack one day, because I really prefer the movie versions of half the songs, ESPECIALLY Tico-Tico.
