Product Description

"The Peanut Vendor" ("El Manisero") was written by Cuban composer Moises Simons in the late 1920s. The song sold a more than a million copies of sheet music and 78rpm records, and sparked "rumbamania" in the U.S. The National Recording Preservation Board recognizes it as "the first American recording of an authentic Latin dance style." It has been covered in recordings something like 160 times, by Stan Kenton, Django Reinhart, Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin and many others.
This fairly simple arrangement is for two trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba. The tuba lays down a beat while the higher voices swap pieces of the melody. It ain't fancy, but it plays well.
If you want different instrumentation, I'm happy to accommodate. Contact me at wilcor@aol.com.
