Here is a limited-run 45 rpm reissue of two super hard-to-find singles accredited to the mysterious Marga Benitez, a calypso-singing "exotic dancer" originally from the Caribbean who first made her way to a studio in 1954 with vocal group the Mello Tones. "Geechie Goomie" features slinky vocals alongside an almost clunky, exotic, piano-led accompaniment and some oddly sinister backing vocals from the Mello Tones. "Wino's On Parade" is a curious one-off oddity with calypso vocals, quirky lyrics and doo-wop backing vox.
