I'm sure that you heard this song — with half an ear, maybe, but heard nonetheless. Unless you've spent this year on another planet, that is. On this planet, there's no escape. Luckily, the song is not half bad. Maybe there is a reason why Duele el Corazón got to all those chart positions other than just being performed by Enrique Iglesias with Wisin.

Frankly I have no clue who are Cubaneros (or Cuban Eros). I think they are based in Patras, but that's the extent of my knowledge. I just came across this salsa cover of LP's hit single Lost on You, the first of (so far) two videos of the band available on YouTube, and liked it more than the original. I hope you like it too.

This morning, as I was flying from Málaga, I suddenly realised that Malagueña was never featured on this blog. Composed by Ernesto Lecuona in 1928, it was covered and reinvented a gazillion times. This week, I'd like to present the version by American accordionist Nick Ariondo; Malagueña as you, most likely, have never heard before.

Well, what do you know. Here in Andalucia Macarena appears to be as popular as 20 years ago. According to Wikipedia,
In VH1's 2002 documentary 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders, "Macarena" was ranked as No. 1. "Macarena" was also ranked No. 1 on a different VH1 documentary, 40 Awesomely Bad No. 1 Songs.Whatever critics say, Macarena is here to stay. So, don't be surprised that this week's song is... Más Macarena by Gente de Zona featuring Los del Río. Enjoy.
