Nat followed Cole Espanol with another Latin-American themed recording in the appropriate lingos. Although some find the accents odd, which is hardly surprising, Nat's winning musicality remains the attraction. Perfidia is particularly evocative, with Fantastico and Aquellos Ojos Verdes ranking not too far behind on my list.

The success of both Cole Espanol and A Mis Amigos encouraged Capitol to encore with a third LP, the imaginatively titled More Cole Espanol in 1962, to similar results all around.
