Not much information to be found on Pickard’s Chinese Syncopators. They were an active string band on the Vaudeville circuit in the 1920s & 30s, and seemed to be a Chinese/American combo. This is a cool and quirky rumba called “Ali Baba”.
This is on an English-made His Master’s Voice from like 1932 I wanna say.
