Romantic songs

Well, at least now we know who to blame for banda music.

Hey...did someone mention banda music?

Talk about your unrequited love...

Enough already of this banda music...

...From the 1954 Felinni film...music by Nino Rota

...slow tempo music of Latin origin, often with an accompanying dance.  Spanish Bolero is distinct for it's 3/4 time and rhythm. Think of the opening drum tapping to Ravel's Bolero: 

Another great genre is the Pasodoble (double step)  This example is from a 1992 movie, "Strictly Ballroom"

Probably a good time to post Chan Chan...

Yeah, gettin' into a groove...

This duo performed last night at the old train station in Chapala (Centro Cultural)...full house, 90% Gringos...best 50 pesos you could have spent!

...performed by on old friend of mine.

Aranjuez, sung in Hebrew. So roll over Torquemada...and tell Rodrigo the news.

Never really liked this song...until I heard this version.

The definition of cool...

They call them standards for a reason!  
Thanks to everyone for sharing.

So here's an old standard...just for you.

In other words, "Just Be Nice."

The voice of a generation...

Beautiful!

... To survive long enough to receive histories stamp of validity.  What was the top pop hit, rap hit, country-western hit 2 years ago?...nobody remembers & nobody cares.

I promise I wont start rolling on Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstien...I could fill the next 2 pages.

Pass the tissue please...I'll take the whole box.
