Artist:  Les Baxter and His Orchestra

Title: Ritual of the Savage (Le Sacre du Sauvage)

Date:  1952

Label:  Capitol Records   T288

Notes:  More exotica from Les and his cohorts. This time it's the beat of savage drums, the heat of the jungles, ports of faraway places and presence of ritual in our lives. Presented he as a tone poem and with a full explanation of the intent of each piece of music. And the cover is a must have for any self respecting Tiki Bar of any renown.
