Stephen Chambers Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Well played! It's a song that always makes me think of Oscar Alemán and his various recordings of it, going back to the early 1940s.

David Barnert Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Thank you, Stephen (and, of course, Randy). I’d never heard of Oscar Alemán before, but I’ve been listening to youtubes of him for the last half hour and I’m hooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) You would not be alone David - and he had such an extraordinary life, that included both Josephine Baker, and Django Reinhardt, in Paris in the 1930s...

felix castro Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I like also this song a lot, I haven't heard about him. Here is Besame Mucho but in a video version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Stein Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 If we're going to discuss Aleman then this has to be one of his coolest tunes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
