I've been listening to this album by 2 Caras — in fact, the only album by 2 Caras — for I don't know how many years. How come I never shared a song on this blog? So, here you are: Chimango from Tango Ska.

La canción de la semana #205
Quizás, quizás, quizás was the first Spanish song we were learning in our Beginner Spanish class, back in 2002. The song was written by the Cuban Osvaldo Farrés in 1947. Since then, innumerable cover versions were recorded. Here's a short list of my favourite interpretations:
- Celia Cruz
- Lila Downs
- A duet of Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo, with Roberto Fonseca on piano
- Bossa nova by the Japanese-Brazilian singer Lisa Ono (小野リサ).
- Ska version by the Italian band Ska-J
