A Mis Amigos is a 1959 studio album by Nat King Cole to the Latin market, arranged by Dave Cavanaugh and recorded in Rio de Janeiro,[2] during his Brazilian tour.
This was Cole's second album of Spanish themed music (despite that it also features three songs in Portuguese, "Suas Mãos", "Caboclo Do Rio" and "Não Tenho Lágrimas"), following Cole Español (1958) and preceding More Cole Español (1962).

The AllMusic review by William Ruhlmann awarded the album three-and-a-half stars, and said that Cole "still didn't have much feeling for Spanish."[2]
This album was a big hit in Brazil during the 60s where it became Cole's most recognized work.
