Yumi Seino -- Hasta Manana

From Amazon.ca

Welcome to Single 11112 according to the Labels count, and I'm happy to say that this song is from Yumi Seino(清野由美)who I last spoke about at the end of November regarding her "Rio no Mahoutsukai"(リオの魔法使い).


As with "Rio no Mahoutsukai", "Hasta Manana" (See You Tomorrow) also belongs to Seino's debut album "U・TA・GE" from March 1981. In fact, this is the track that starts things off and it itself starts off with a big boppy bass riff before things go into an appropriately jumpy Latin pattern but then it keeps interweaving with City Pop and pop rhythms. Talk about trying to nail this genre down. In any case, "Hasta Manana" was written by Mami Kikuchi(菊地眞美)and composed by City Pop permanent resident Akira Inoue(井上鑑).

Hasta manana!✋
