Silvana Mangano (el negro zumbon) from ANNA movie of 1951

[nerakairotciv]

hmmm you would think she would be able to better pronounce Spanish given she's Italian. Nice song regardless.

[Palomar1975]

Composed by Armando Trovajoli.........



[rcarass1]

Every person in that scene needs therapy!

[HolyZitoli]

anyone else here because of Pink Martini?

[Etnecserc]

Pourquoi est-il que la musique noire est souvent identifiée avec la danse avec un abandon sexuel? J'ai vu beaucoup de films avec des scènes comme celle-ci et celui qui vient facilement à l'esprit est Et Dieu créa la femme avec Brigitte Bardot dansant au rythme de la musique afro-caribéenne. Dans les dessins animés, tels que Qui a tué Pierre Lapin, des méchants sont souvent montrés dans les clubs avec un des groupes de jazz. Je n'aime pas l'implication.

Frontier Psychiatrist, anyone?

[OfficialCosCon]

My parents had the 78rpm of the song. My father absolutely loved Iltalian cinema. This is the very first song I ever danced to; Thank you for posting htis, brings back a rush of memories. After frantically trying to work out what this song wes by watching cinema Paradisio, I heard the Pink Martini cover and got the original. But the images are beyond words.

[tkyaheya]

Great listening after a very long time. Thanks very much for uploading this lovely perennial evergreen which is simply unforgettable>>>>

[ashishrs]

I ARRIVED HERE AFTER A LOT OF SEARCHING..AFTER WATCHING CINEMA PARADISO !!.THUMBS UP IF ALSO DID

[miroslavsafin]

@gjc866 hehe pink martini brought me here too from their kickass show in toronto , i knew i heard that guitar solo before in Frontier Psychiatrist but I thought it was an original! 

[valtador]

cinema paradiso brought me here

[gokulsreeragam]

@valtador Me too

[4vinos]

Oh my gosh, what a magnificent voice and song.

[esclave]

Caro Diario brought me here! Moretti does the moves just as well :P

[3poruno]

great! always is good dance the baiao

the song appears in the mgm shellac 9576 (originally from giordano vatro), the b face contains the fox trot called t'ho voluto bene.

perez prado did a version of the song in the rca victor`s shellac 20-5367

with carmencita pernett aand tony camargo on vocals, the b side contains a song dedicated to the lovely actress logically called: sylvana mangano

[Pooch92893]

Her dancing is so cute!

[WGBarryR]

If I didn't know better I would've thought this clip was from 1962 or so. Seems very modern for its time.

[linsensibile]

60 years before Waka Waka.

[dccstone]

If anyone is interested, or was looking for it, this was sampled toward the end of Frontier Psychiatrist.

[Corrie121]

Absolutely brilliant post.

Thank you for sharing.

[dmrosetattoo]

Does anyone know how to find this song on itune?

[TchikiSteph]

@dmrosetattoo

Search for the song "El Negro Zumbon" by Flo Sandon

[adk314]

An electrifying and uplifting song and matching on-stage performance.

Respectful salute to composer(Armando),singer(Flo) &

performer(SILVANA).

[VIRIATO1942]

A most beautifull lady like so many Italy has given the World...all made by Michael Angelo ! A percursor of Monica Belluci...half a century before.

The song is great. It was very very popular back then....

[anoxinomin5]

One would think the film would be released on the merit that Sophia Loren works s waitress in the Blue Grotto Cafe where Silvana works at before she becomes an nun.

[anoxinomin5]

Istill have the 78 record of this song,Non Dementicar is on the revers side,my older brother played i to death. I fell i love with her playing two roles in one film. The constant Penelope and the temptress Cerci In glorious Technicolor all in bright green. Luring Kirk Douglas to his doom in Ulysses!Some one mentioned her in Ben Hur ,although they do look alike,that's Haya Harett in Ben Hur. Silvana remained beautiful even in her last film ,that science fiction disaster her husband made ,Dune!

[anoxinomin5]

I still have the 78 record of this song with Non Deimenticar on he reverse.

@Lupitamihita

[ddidds13]

[xXEastJesusNoWhereXx]

[etierik]

So this is the original version? It's great! There is also a Dutch song from the same era - Mama el Baión by Maria Zamora - that sounds almost exactly the same.

[kenshiroonline]

this song makes me happy

[MrFotakias]

Cinema Paradiso

[miltsar]

I loved this song when I was a kid...still love it and still love Silvana Mangano...one of the great ladies/beauties of film .

[shawneechief]

@miltsar I have the same childhood memory. Great minds think alike, even at a tender age. I hope the song never ages though we sadly, will.

[AllaRiscossaQuim2]

Lo scorso week end, in tv, sulla Rai hanno trasmesso un documentario su Silvana Mangano; questo spezzone mi è entrato nella testa...La sua espressione mentre balla e canta...che spettacolo, che grazia, classe!!! Voglio vedere assolutamente il film...

[elhippe]

i love this song.my mom would play it several times.i was 4 years old. i found it again. now i 59 years old . thank you.

[arditxakura]

My first viewing of this film was when I was about 25. I'm now 82 and have never gotten over Silvana Mangano or the song, "El Negro Zumbon".

[KitegaCommunity]

wow wow wow wow wow, beautiful, electrifying, classy. my kind of venue!

[NOTONLYNOISE]

ma che espressione a 0:48 ...ne sono innamorato! Questa è una donna, altro chè...

[VIRIATO1942]

I was a very young boy and I had a crush on Silvana Mangano.

I saw the movie and I could never forget the song.

It does bring tears to my eyes.

[durbanhome]

Where can I buy this DVD?

Thanks.

[siempremarisol]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO

[sweeetxfire]

I've had this song stuck in my head all day!! I love Silvana's facial expressions and her dancing...she's so cute :)

i love this song! old school movies rule!

[siempremarisol]

@fermar92 ESTA MUJER FUE ESPECTACULAR ELLA

[Edivaldo724]

@renew2day - You can be wrong - discovers that ! Silvana Mangano was not a siger. She was dubbed(voice dubbing) by Lidia Simoneschi!

Anna, Bitter Rice and Mambo - Silvana was dubbed by Lidia Simoneschi!

[patrickdcyau]

@Edivaldo724 - Yes, Silvana Mangano was only an actress. Her voice was actually dubbed by Flo Sandons (and not Lidia Simoneschi).

[Edivaldo724]

@patrickdcyau -You quite right, Silvana Mangano was dubbed by Flo Sandons. I'm wrong!

[PierreLucSex]

Que j'aime ce racisme latent et persistant au profit d'une ambition musicale discrète et ratée.

[youtubister]

Silvana Mangano... Ahhh... <3

Great clip, this.

[bergspyder63]

I saw Anna as I was in the throes of puberty (no age restrictions in the early 1950s) and the tune of El Bayon has been rattling around in my mind since then.

[TheMusique34]

Exellent music and actrice.

[renew2day]

Wasn't she a big hit in "Bitter Rice"? Just askin'

MGM Records released ANNA b/w I LOVED YOU (T'ho Voluto Bene) in 1953.

This was Sylvana Mangano's only hit record in the USA.

It was among the Top 10 bestselling records for 10 weeks! (Billboard Music Weekly) from May 9th to July 11, 1953.

I'm sure if someone wants it, it could be found on e-bay.

(I won't sell my 45rpm!)

[youtubister]

@renew2day

Yes, she was a big hit in "Bitter Rice" (1949). The film, her 6th,  was also Oscar nominated.

[DreamsToFly]

grazie silvana

[TheMusique34]

Very good

[pompenel]

Excellent!

[ivan11449]

one of the best mlodies for the guitar,I learnt to play the guitar because of this melody,what a great melody,Thanks ANNA I play this very well on the guitar

Ivan11449

[Etnecserc]

Silvana's great beauty and lack of self-consciousness gives this clip a lot of charm. Her simple unmodulated singing voice undoctored by electronic gadgetry gives it the sound of live performance. There is of course the well textured Zone 5 photography that plays well on light and shadows. All these make up for her somewhat cloven-footed and clumsy dancing (hard to move when a lady is so well-equipped) which I find appealing. And that music, that beat, resonates of the exotic and exciting.

[youtubister]

@Etnecserc

Maybe the "cloven-footed" dance style was done on purpose? Can't really say not having seen the film.

[Etnecserc]

@youtubister Agree.

[atemeles5]

si può arrapare anche senza il culo di fuori...

[Etnecserc]

Silvana won my heart as the virtuous and loyal Penelope in Ulysses but this is sooo verrry interesting. She certainly was my favorite among the female actress Italian invaders of Hollywood in the '50s.

[Etnecserc]

I wish somebody would post Silvana in her film with Kirk Douglas, Ulisse (Ulysses), in which she portrayed both Penelope and Circe.

[gudpaljoey]

I saw the film, Anna in French Morocco in 1952, and fell in love with Silvana Mangano. I tried to get it on Netflix but apparently it's not on DVD.

[RUDDIBARDOT]

wonderful silvana , i love you very much

[hebneh]

OK, so someday somebody needs to make a new movie of a character watching the people in "Cinema Paradiso" watching this scene, then watching Nanni Moretti watching the same dance on TV in "Caro Diario", and then in real life, people can sit in a theater and watch this new film of someone watching two movies in which other people watch this scene.

Very complicated.

[RUDDIBARDOT]

I WENT to see her resting plac ehere in ny stae in the town of Pawling , she is at the cementery with the towns name , is a modest place her son federico he die in 1981 is there too, the town is very beautiful if you live in ny state go and visit the town very beautiful and see her buriel place

[vanesaLILA]

[arturo4839]

¡Hermosa canción! lo oí en un album de exitos de 1950 a 1960, Lastima que hayamos perdido los discos. Afortunadamente la subieron. Gracias jack11anbar.

[Spainiswonderful]

Nunca ví la peli (Entonces yo sólo tenía 2 añitos) pero me encanta esta samba por la inigualable Mangano que me transporta a los primeros años de mi infancia cuando a todas horas sonaba en la radio española.

Muchísimas gracias Jack11anbar!!!

[senoramariposa]

The lighting effects in this film are wonderful.

[sdjoseph1]

The group Pink Martini does a great cover of this song!

[Scrauso74]

indeed!!! It's a wonderful version...

:D

Grande voce di Flo Sandon's e magnifica canzone di A:Trovaioli

[RUDDIBARDOT]

i love silvana mangano to me the most beautiful actress of italian cinema

[mokpo]

Grazie Nanni per avermi fatto conoscere questa bella canzone.

[waltermontani]

notevole!

[RumpRanger007]

I first saw this film clip in the movie "Cinema Paradiso" years ago & was so captivated by it! The song was very familiar, I probably heard it when I was a young boy. The song sequence was well shot and lit for an old movie....and the singer/actress was sexy too!  I was searching for the song's name & film for a long time. Years later I heard the song in a CD shop & immediately asked for the album. It was "Hang on Little Tomato" by Pink Martini & I bought it. Thank you for posting the video!

[razdura]

che sguardo...da rimanere letteralmente senza parole

[hmv008]

L'autore di questo "bajon de Anna" si nasconde dietro lo pseudonimo di "Vatro".... sembra sia Trovajoli

[anddyx]

wow

[Chequelito14]

Does anyone have the guitar tabs for this song ?? please email me PLEASE!

[croissy123]

You could try the track PINK MARTINI : a couple of years ago ( 2004 ?) this american band recorded this song in a record called 'Hang on little tomato" ( quite nice version). Tab of this record probably easier to find. Good luck

[Joeinps]

It's amazing but if you look real closly she looks like her granddaughter , Giada DeLaurentis from the cooking network ..

[PEZheadkilla]

this film can be bought in vhs not dvd from Nostalgia Family Videos. It is subtitles, but a great movie. I enjoyed it very much

[farinell]

una delle donne più belle di sempre

[palegrey]

0:37 - I'll enter the room this way at my next interview!

[bill0the0greek]

hahahahaha

[kostgian]

most sexual italien star ever..............

[acutellamaphobia]

I found this while watching Cinema Paradiso ^_^ Such a great song.

[kosson]

So am I... see also Caro Diario... there's the same sequence... hmmm would this be a leitmotif of Italian recent cinematography ?

[82osammot]

in a certain way; Nanni Moretti in that movie is a dance-addicted...he has always had the dream of learning to dance, not just watch people do it...in that scene he is in a public bar, while in an old tv on the wall he sees the scene from Anna, and starts nodding his head and moving the arms following the music...

[HalfordJetset]

Lovely lovely

[leobrizuela]

No, la voz es Amalia ROdrigues, la portuguesa.

[fdellase]

SIlvana Mangano is wonderful, nevertheless it is worth recalling that she's not singing: the voice is ol Flo Sandonz

[Chevrondazur]

Chanson favorite de feu mon grand-oncle Roland (1909-1974), playboy qui adorait la nightlife. Paix à son âme!

[dabreu]

Bravo. I love the Brazilian version too. Negro Bastião.

[spyrokat]

Actually, the rhythm of the song is Brazilian - el baion is the baiao, the rhythmic formula behind forro, coco and embolada.

[gerardbutlerluvya]

Guys pls...would any of you know how I can acquire a copy of Anna? Pls???

[ChiudiLaPorta]

Just for fun, check for Nanni Moretti's "Caro Diario" clip, he cites this scene ;-)

[hellokato]

This beauty is the grandmother of chef Giada!

[hawanna]

I always play this track in the version of Toni Mottola...

[robgems2]

I think this lady starred opposite Charlton Heston in Ben Hur.

[BobbieJeanEndZone]

I just watched Ben Hur on Turner Classic movies. That was her and she was also in Barabbas with Anthony Quinn. She was married to Dino Delaurentis until her death even though they no longer lived together. He controlled her career which looks like, ended early.

[BobbieJeanEndZone]

My mistake she was not in Ben Hur. She just resembles Haya Harareet who was in Ben Hur. She was however, in Barabbas.

[donthoneydont]

einfach genial diese tolle frau mit einer grossartigen stimme...........

[momu17]

Hallo, kann mir jemand sagen, wo ich diesen Film auf DVD oser Video kaufen kann ? Meine bisherigen Recherchen im Internet führten nur zu einem Gebrauchtvideo für 34,95 Euro, und das finde ich doch etwas überzogen.

[442Rickmaniac]

I love this, after I saw the clip in "Cinema Paradiso." I am still having an awful time finding a zone-correct DVD of the movie. I bought a CD of it, and my 8-year-old daughter and I sing and dance to it.

[radbogie]

Where did you find a CD of "Anna"?

[cyon70]

this reminds me of my mother who use to sing this song for me when i was young

[kostgian]

dreamful sound,a.lattuanda,dreamful s.mangano of the afterwar beautiful italy...

[Antonioni77]

Llevaba 12 años detrás de este número musical ¡qué alegría haber dado al final con él! Vi el fragmento en Cinema Paradiso y luego los Avalanches incluyeron el inicio en uno de los temas de su primer álbum... ¡gracias! Es realmente maravilloso.

[MARIAESTHERGUZMAN]

Les recomiendo la versión de Amália Rodrigues, con su acento portugués. Diferente a la versión de la sensual Silvana, pero también muy interesante, sobre todo por el arreglo... disfrútenla...

[lupenzo71]

this song is composer of maestro armando trovajoli remember..........

[sempreverde18]

Yes indeed this song is composed by Armando Trovaioli. (Purtroppo) lo ricordo benissimo.Ciao Gino

[ChiudiLaPorta]

perché purtroppo? XD

[xmurli]

Simply lovely.

[Hrorvendel]

It's the best video clip ever placed on You Tube; I remember the song was a big hit in the early 50's in many different versions, as was the custom then

[machidaboy]

To whomever took down this video; I hope someone rapes and murders your daughters and mother. I hope they get cancer, too. You piece of sanctimonious shit.

[hebneh]

I also remember this from "Cinema Paradiso". It's a wonderful song, shot so expertly too. Two questions, though:

1) Did the original film have these awkward, obvious cuts here, where the soundtrack is noticeably out of synch?

2) Is that also Silvana at the start of the scene dressed in a nun's habit? If so, what's the story?? Did she go from being a very sexy nightclub singer to being a nun? (With this scene being a flashback to her previous life...?)

[jack11anbar]

This song is taken exactly from the original film.This copy is the one broadcasted at Rai Tre Italian channel.This scene is a flashback to her previous life..

[porongopongo]

Compañero y amigo!!! Hago también desde Bs. As. mias tus palabras. Tenía cuando era joven un raro libro mexicano de Cesare Zavattinni "El realismo cinematográfico italiano". Allí vi una foto de ella en "Arroz Amargo" y quedé loco del tomate. También la recuerdo en "Grupo de Familia" de Visconti. Aunque ya grande estaba como para ser Burt Lancaster y darle.

[lent77cv]

bello il film bella la canzone

[porongopongo]

Por esa época se hacía en Bs. As. famoso otro Baión. El que decía "Deben ser los gorilas, deben ser... que andarán por ahí". Era cortina de la revista dislocada.

[cocklesandmussels]

Excellent. Many thanks for posting this--I'm going to learn the tune.

[paggie38]

I remember this movie and always wished I could see it again. I was 13yrs old and loved this song and the movie itself. Just came across this video and I'm thriled to death. will put it in favorites
