"Known as Pantaleon Perez Prado, was the younger brother of the famous"King of Mambo". Pantaleon, who came to Europe in the 1950s, recorded several albums with Unifunk. A powerful Big Funk Band sound feat.: Tullio De Piscopo, Mario Rusca, Giancarlo Barigozzi, Pino Prestipino and others….vocals Don Alfio Includes "Tommy" "Que Es Lo Que Pasa" and a special version of "Tequila"
Escandalo!, as Perez Prado states in the brief sleeve note, is named after a "new rhythm" created by himself. "A rhythm you can dance to in freedom, without specific steps". In spite of this naive launching, the opening track Chicago Banana is a declaration of intent, with its Sly Stone-esque groove. 9 out of 12 tracks are originals credited to composers of the Unifunk circle, but the track list is careful to preserve Prado's well-established Latin appeal, by including three standards such as Brazil, El Manisero and Tequila.
