Differently-arranged Cugat remakes of this title are more easily found than this 1940 version. Sometimes spelled “Mama Yo Quiero,” the song was popularized that year--in part--due to Carmen Miranda’s performance in the film “Down Argentine Way.”
Transferred from the original 78rpm: Victor 26522 - I Want My Mama (Mama eu Quero) (Stillman-DeTorre-Jararaca-Paiva) by Xavier Cugat and his Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra, vocal by Carmen Castillo, recorded in Chicago February 19, 1940 .
