Brita Koivunen - Jauhan Kahvia

BRITA KOIVUNEN

Jauhan kahvia / Untamon Sormus

Scandia KS 450
1962
7"






Although filed under samba, "Jauhan kahvia" is actually a cover of "Moliendo cafe", a venezuelan rumba song from 1958 by Hugo Blanco. Also known as "Coffee rumba", this old standard has spawned nearly 1000 covers worldwide and Brita Koivunen's groovy version follows the original theme quite well. The lyrics are about grinding coffee to a date that never shows up. The backing band in this 45 is the always tight Jaakko Salo's Orchestra. The b-side song "Untamon sormus" is a regular 60s schlager song. This 45 though is quite hard to find these days.
