Notes & History
Title Should be "Naná"
by Agustin Gurza, 04/24/2020 - 19:09Dear Michael:
You are absolutely correct about the accent in the title. I can hear it clearly as well. However, our protocol calls for spelling the title and credits exactly as they appear on the label. As you can see, RCA did not include the accent.
Thanks for adding this important detail. It is careful listeners like you who help improve the information in our collection.
Regards,
Agustín Gurza, Editor, The Frontera Collection
Title should be "Naná" not "Nana"
by Michael Lavocah (not verified), 04/06/2020 - 07:49You can hear this when Serpa begins singing at 1'10." The accent is at the end of Naná.

All the best!
