...is Los Glaciares by Paris-based El Búho (Robin Perkins), from his 2021 album Natura Sonora. El Búho says:
Los Glaciares is a national park found in Argentina at the southern tip of the Andes mountains where three glaciers meet. It is a land of blues and white, of snow-capped mountains and glacial lakes. This track was built around the sound of avalanches and rockfall from the melting glacier and features a collaboration with Argentine musicians Manu Quintans (flutes) and Fede Estevez (percussion).

According to Wikipedia,
in 1539, a dance called a zarabanda is mentioned in a poem written in Panama by Fernando Guzmán Mexía. Apparently the dance became popular in the Spanish colonies before moving back across the Atlantic to Spain. While it was banned in Spain in 1583 for its obscenity, it was frequently cited in literature of the period (for instance in works by Cervantes and Lope de Vega).
This week's song is dedicated to the memory of Jon Lord, who died on 16 July: Sarabande, from his 1976 album of the same name.

¡Nadie espera a la inquisición española!
Today, Yuri asked how to say in Spanish "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition". I was unable to find the Spanish version straight away; here's the sketch in English with Spanish subtitles.
"¡Nadie espera encontrarse a la Inquisición española! Nuestra principal arma es la sorpresa, y el miedo... Nuestras dos armas principales son la sorpresa y el miedo, y una eficacia despiadada... Nuestras tres armas son el miedo, la sorpresa y una eficacia despiadada, y una devoción fanática por el Papa... Nuestras cuatro... Entre nuestras armas hay elementos como el miedo, la sorpresa... Volvamos a entrar."
"¡No esperaba encontrarme a la Inquisición española!"
"¡Nadie espera encontrarse a la Inquisición española! Entre nuestras armas, hay elementos como el miedo, la sorpresa, una eficacia despiadada y una devoción fanática por el Papa, y unos uniformes rojos preciosos..."
