A light-hearted instrumental number with a Latin feel!
The lead single from the album "Fandango" features a refreshing sound reminiscent of the Mexican coast, paired with popular songs that represent his later career.
Trumpet virtuoso Herb Alpert released this summertime instrumental pop masterpiece in 1982. The title track, "Route 101," reached No. 4 on the Billboard AC chart, beautifully updating his "upbeat sound" that dates back to his days with the Tijuana Brass in the 1960s with a polished '80s production. Its light-hearted rhythm and familiar melody remain a staple of easy listening even today, decades after its release.
