I heard this song used in the Warren Miller film "...Like There's No Tomorrow". I missed the credit plate where the song is cited, but luckily between Wikipedia and Youtube I found it. It's a shame that Amazon MP3 doesn't have it available for purchase.
I agree, Ravel would be proud to have this as an adaptation of his masterpiece.
Although shortened for obvious commercial reasons, as all recent renditions are, (the original was15 minutes) I believe this nicely reflected Ravel's original concept.
The slow steady build, and adding instruments (voices in this case) would have pleased Maurice.
I think he would have loved his music being alive 80 years after he wrote it.
@NLR884evr -, no, that's actually him pulling up his socks and getting ready to sand up in his grave and applaud. Music is not written as stone tablets. It is for changing, sharing, adapting. This is a heartwarming example of hat at it's best.
tu resteras toujours notre grande chanteuse africaine et Béninoise I love you

The ruffling sound you hear in the background is Ravel turning in his grave.

Makes the small hairs on my neck stand up.
Angélique's interpretation of the Bolero is the best vokal interpretation I've ever heard.
Doesn't get any better than this.
