La canción de la semana #61

This week's piece of music is nothing less than Maurice Ravel's Bolero as performed by Jorge Pardo, one of the greatest flute (and sax) players I've ever heard. This track is taken from Jorge Pardo's album Mira. Es fenomenal.

La canción de la semana #60

...is Narigón by Daniel Melingo (courtesy Mañana).

Narigón Por los pagos de mi barrio habia un tipo que se las daba de guapo Pero su mente estaba revirada le decian: El Narigón Por lo mucho que aspiraba Salia de noche, volvia de dia No tenia paz ese muchacho Pero todos le decian vas a tener que parar Y se pianto nomas, intoxicado quedo duro como rulo de estatua Hasta que un buen dia el mate no le dio para mas Narigón compadre, que hiciste de tu sangre? Narigón compadre, malevo de pacotilla Narigón compadre, aprende de un avez a darte!

La canción de la semana #58

Continuing with instrumental music. In this way, our 'La canción' does not have to be in Spanish, as long as there is some connection with Hispanic music.

I would like to introduce a Russian flamenco guitarist Ivan Smirnov. I first saw and heard him live some 20 years ago in Moscow, when he was in a line-up of (then) Soviet jazz-rock outfit Arsenal (!). Tonight's song, Rendez-vous, is taken from this website containing 16 complete audio tracks. I hope you like his music.

...is Mano a Mano performed by the genius Argentine harmonica player Hugo Díaz thirtysomething years ago. This tango is taken from the album simply called Tangos.
