A good and bouncy little instrumental that sounds very much a product of 1963.
Sort of Tex-Mex Gulf Coast surf...?
From the All Music Guide entry by Ed Hogan:
"Sunny & the Sunglows were formed from students at
Burbank Vocational School in
San Antonio, TX, in 1959.
"Its members were lead singer Sunny Ozuna (not on this track), Alfred Luna, Tony Tostado, Gilbert Fernandez, and Jesse, Oscar, and Ray Villanueva.
"Their sound was a mix of
Tex-Mex, blues, country, and mariachi.
"The band started their own Sunglow imprint in 1962."
