Swinging London: Bert Ambrose Orch. - La Cucaracha, 1938

[augustomariante]

A gay song, a cigarette of marijuana, the third world people (mainly the latins), whatever you want... There are lots of meanings in this rumba! For example: it makes me remember the Cuba of Batista, when Havana was a glamourous casino, including a bordelo, of course! It is just a game of free mind's association! Better forget the meanings and just dance! Antonio Augusto from Brazil

Classic 30s Track in an English version. The Original is a Mexican traditional, but don't know who sung it first.

Mr. A. M. Rose (Ambrose) had probably the finest band ever. His orchestrations were quite superb. Thank you so much for this clip.

Thanks for the suggestion but I left Florians and simply walked down Largo XII to Versace where I picked up just the perfect pair of sandals. Ciao!

dzheger is right,this is a great Rhumba. My jumping jack shoes are going crazy, but I have to disappoint them. For this Rhumba, I have to purchase some high heel sandal ankle strap shoes. Since I am a fashionable Polish girl, I always like to wear the appropriate footwear.

I just rented a flat in Swinging London for the late Feb. family trip and think I need some marijuana to calm down my checkbook. Those lovely tropical photos are a surprise! I was expecting the Elephant & Castle and the Big Ben

Tango Brigade. Sure don't look like London!

"La cucaracha...Marijuana por fumar" Talk about sensitive lyrics! If this rumba doesn't make you jump up and dance, nothing will! God only knows where you take all these gorgeous and appropriate pictures from.
