Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Well, I don't speak Spanish but me and my friends, when we were young, we sang Carlos Puebla's Hasta Siempre, a song written on the day of Che Guevara's death. You live in Chile, and you know that in Latin America Che Guevara is a myth, and this song has got a lot of versions, so I wrote "Hasta Siempre Comandante Che Guevara". 

You don't have to consider it a political message: Che Guevara is now a legend, he's a romantic hero that many right-wing groups like in Europe. Consider my writing a tribute to a Latin American myth and a nostalgic memory of the times when I sang Hasta Siempre. We are here for fun.

Agree? Come on, join us and participate in the poll with your Latin American song.
(Here the Inti Illimani version)

EDIT: Have heard the Kronos Quartet and Astor Piazzolla now... stylistically that's too close to mine. I make this one out of competition and choose another one for the competition.

Here's what I wrote originally:
I love that theme, not so much because I have lots of music that fits (in fact I don't have that much), but rather because this is a theme where I think there's much potential to discover good things that I don't yet know. Unfortunately the selection up to now shows that a number of people know similar stuff as me... I had three ideas and they're all three already there, in one way or another, Astor Piazzolla, the wonderful Manhattan Transfer Brasil album, and Inti Illimani. I think I'll go with my first choice anyway, even though we then have Astor Piazzolla twice, but he is good enough for that, I'd say. Lorenzo, if you don't think that's appropriate, please tell me and I'll look for something else. Which won't be so easy still as I said my first three are already covered.

I give you two versions a) in case one doesn't work for you but b) because I always prefer live videos if they sound reasonably well, but here I'm really torn, as the live video sound is OK but still clearly inferior to the studio version.
So you only need to listen to one of course (and they are reasonably similar), but choose if you're rather up for seeing the band playing, or rather for having the somewhat better sound with a boring album cover video.




Hmmm. I had two things lined up for this in case somebody else would come up with my first idea... actually

The chorus in 5/8, the verses in tango:

Hauser Orkater - Dichtgevroren Vijver (1979)

I could only find a vid for the whole album. The track runs from 20:18 to 24:00.
Instead, you can also click here to go directly to the starting point.
By the way, the whole album is well worth many listens. Arguably the best album (mostly) in Dutch, imo.

The lyrics (translated from Dutch):

Why don't you look at me,
you frozen pond?
Do I have to wait for thaw
or beat an ice-hole in you?

Why don't you touch me
or are your hands cold
like those of a deceased
or an iguana?
Don't you dare to speak
or is your voice so raw
that it would make anything fragile break?

What is it you're flying for?
If you don't want to talk, then
please utter at least
a beautiful, deep sigh...

Kronos Quartet & Astor Piazzolla - Five Tango Sensations: Anxiety



And "out of competition," here's a novelty, heavy metal mariachi:

Metalachi - Crazy Train

Love the voice (and the accompaniment).  And thusly, more to ferret out!  Big smile

Edit:  Ok so I misunderstood the Out of Competition was supposed to be latin influenced, I just assumed it could be anything.  But it's a song I love anyway that I wanted to share, so I'm leaving it.

And I'm glad you did, I really like this.  Reminds me of Tim Buckley a bit.  Going to put them on my list for further listening.  Smile

Thanks Mike. I've not found another link, so I changed the song... but not the author.

OK, here I am with more harp music (also violin and band).  And I did take Micky's thoughts elsewhere on a live performance, but for some reason YT does not have a lot of Carlos Reyes studio recordings (perhaps because he's fun to watch).  This is Niko's Rumba (Brazil): 

          ******************************************************************************

And out of competition.  This is Athy, from Argentina, with Indigo Profundo, an original composition, which is certainly written with Latin American influence (Argentinian?).  Also fun to watch live, so perhaps the dearth of studio recordings on YT.

Tribe of Gypsies - Admit It



Tribe of Gypsies is a Latin rock band. I discovered them in the early 2000s, while searching stuff related to Bruce Dickinson's solo albums. I learned that Roy Z and the other members (except for Bruce, of course, and Adrian Smith) of Dickinson's solo albums have another band, and that is ToG. I like their music, so I chose to participate here with one of their songs. Enjoy!
