I have been searching for this CD for a long long time. And finally, I got it. The remastering is far much better than my old 78 rpm shellac disc. The origin of this "Wedding Samba" was believed to come from a Jewish melody. Recorded in 1950, and the vocalist was Abbe Lane (who became Cugat's wife from 1952).

Mais uma excelente interpretação, pela grande e célebre Orquestra de Xavier Cugat, de um alegre e inolvidável samba dos finais dos anos 40'!

Yes lots of yiddish songs became popular American hits, Bei Mir Bist Du Shane, by the Andrews sisters, and Yosel Yosel, (Joseph Joseph) also made popular by them.

I'm not jewish but worked in the Jewish community in Melbourne for 5 years and heard and learned some wonderful Jewish music both religious and popular secular music. (Old songs like Oif'n pripitchik etc). The basic melody of The Wedding Samba was the same as a tune that I would often hear - I believe it may be originally an Eastern European Jewish wedding melody in the style of a "Freylachs", usually played by a Klezmer band.

It was a sound from my childhood in the early 1950's. I only discovered recently that it was probably derived from a Yiddish tune, which now seems both obvious and poignant in some way.
