Review

The soundtrack to the 1968 film, "Gungala, la pantera nuda," by Luigi Malatesta, Franco Bixio, and Sandro Brugnolini, is a delightful throwback that spins a fabric of lounge, jazz, and easy listening with a tasty garnish of Italian seasoning. The 17 tracks whisk listeners away on a 37-minute escapade, tingling the senses with vintage vibes that are as smooth as velvet slippers.

Each composition, from "Gungala Serenata" to "Sophisticated July," weaves catchy melodies and toe-tapping rhythms that are hard to forget. The album not only showcases the trio’s knack for mood crafting but also parades an ensemble of piano, guitars, and brass that practically flirt with your eardrums. Overall, this soundtrack is like a well-mixed cocktail—easy to indulge in and leaving you cheery afterwards. It’s a charming pick for anyone who enjoys being serenaded by the classy sounds of yesteryears. - Iris
