viva por siempre la Lacuona y Alberto Rabagliati

[f1yank]

The pilot was Germany's virtuoso fighter ace, Hans-Joachim Marseille, killed 30 September, 1942, aged 22. This was his favorite song.

[mariocorbo1939]

Regallo8767, en verdad hacéis honor al nombre al dejarnos disfrutar de esta bella composición musical. Ritmo alegre y agil que despierta los sentidos del alma, la rumba nos hace volver al ayer y palpitar con el encanto de una época que parece no fenecer del todo. Gracias por estas vivencias que nos impulsan a recordar.

[YRRM2010]

Marseille used to play the piano - he was a big fan of music [mainly not-german music] ...

[kikin1111000]

de las mejores, la mejor de todos los tiempos,gracias

[zathras1000]

He had the sweetest nature according to Edu Neumann,and always had time for a chat and a joke with even the lowliest crewman.

" He looked and flew like an angel and fought like a demon ! "

[YRRM2010]

Interesting... I found this video looking for Marseille's fave song too...=)

[olympia502]

Esta rumba la escuché por primera vez en la pelicula alemana, la historia se desarrola durante la 2a. guerra mundiale, que se llama Aimé y Jaguar. La busque durante mucho tiempo porque me hace sonar.

[valentinalocchi]

Bellissima!

Ma senza la voce del nostro Rabagliati non sarebbe stata la stessa!

[Dubconferencedotorg]

This is cultural stuff ;)

[charlezurich]

Its funny to think of Marseille humming this song in his Messerschmitt while taking out Spitfires like fish in a barrel.

[loboscar57]

Agrego, entonces hay Orefiche para rato, así como, en otro orden, Rita Montaner, Miguelito Valdés, Beny Moré, Ignacio Villa, el Trío Matamoros y, para mí, la insustituible Esther Borja.

[loboscar57]

Muchas, muchísimas gracias a gelsomine1966 por su aclaración tan pertinente. Ofrezco una excusa por mi equivocación y, evidentemente, falta de información necesaria.

El año pasado, 2009, estuve en las afueras del Casino de Montecarlo; de haber sabido este dato sin duda habría conectado la canción con mi experiencia como escucha apasionado de la música cubana. Creo que en adelante éste va a ser el caso... si es que puedo regresar a Mónaco, aunque sea de paso.

[gelsomine1966]

Armando Oréfiche, a gretat Cuban composer, this piece was play for the first time in the Casino of Montecarlo. I had the honor and pleasure of meet Maestro Orefiche at the end of his life, he was a gentlemen.

He also wrote Rubablanca (wonderful piece) and Rumbacolorá),

Gracias Maestro Oréfiche for all that wonderful music that you gave us.

[Any2267ful]

Que maravilla esta musica imperecedera,!!.me siento tan orgullosa de nuestra musica cubana y de nuestros grandes compositores y artistas por regalarnos estas geniales compsiciones que honrran a cuba y al mundo por tener tanto talento para regalar que parte de la genial creatividad humana.Escuchar esta musica,es para mi, algo asi como tocar el cielo.

[loboscar57]

¡Canción enorme del maestro Lecuona! ¡Qué bien que Caetano Veloso la recuperó y la trajo a nuestros días! Algunos la recordábamos con ese aire de los treinta muy de 78 revoluciones por minuto. ¡Hay Lecuona para mucho tiempo!

[gelsomine1966]

@loboscar57

Le hago la aclaracion que Rumbazul no fue escrita por el maestro Lecuona, su autor es ese otro gran compositor cubano que se llamo Armando Orefiche.

Exsiste una gran confusion entre esos dos grandes de la musica porque durante algunoa años Orefice fue el pianista de los Lecuona Cuban Boys, pero despues formo su propia orquesta.

[carioquidis]

Que rumbas estas, que sonido la orquesta por favor!!!

[Sagrittarius1]

Ich war wirlich lange am suchen nach diesem song, seit ich diesen gehört hatte aus dem deutschen Film "Aimee und Jaguar", wirlich klasse, danke

[jamancl]

YES!! I have also been looking for this since i heard it on Aimee and Jaguar!!! so excited!!!!

[ForAnimalsSake]

Ahhhhhhh. Looking for this for SO long. Ever since I heard it in the film Aimee and Jaguar. THANK YOU!

[chris68167]

fantastic thank you

[sterren7logos]

Great singer.

Thank you for sharing Kostas.

[kostgian]

austanding orchestra!and austanding tenor alberto rabagliati!

[borgoantico44]

@kostgian

Bellissimo, anche la voce di Rabagliati.

[floidfat]

Wirklich spitzen Klasse!

[loboscar57]

Es un maravilla que una canción tan hermosa como ésta, de mis favoritas de Lecuona, pueda gustarle aalguien de 15 años. ¡Felicidades! ¡Ojalá pueda IHEARTBRIGHTON escuchar Crisantemo del mismo compositor.

[bk8288]

I believe the singer is the great Italian tenor, Alberto Rabagliati, who was with the LCBoys during the 30's. Great song and orchestra, love those saxophones, thanks for posting,

[zimadude99]

I discovered this song reading the bio of a WWII German Pilot that loved this song, and it was played over and over when he died at 22 in Sept. 1942. Awesome song. Esta musica es lo mejor.

[RiodeJaneiro20]

30 sept

[arkle73]

@zimadude99

Alas , poor Jochen . He would have been 90 yrs old a few days ago. RIP

[TommiN1974]

@zimadude99 Dear zimadude 99.

The name of the fighter pilot was Hans-Joachim Marseille.

He was a hero and a very friendly person.

He died on 30 Sept. 1942 by an accident.

Sadly in germany you are not allowed to have symathie for soldiers who fhought in WWII.

[timeanagain]

@zimadude99 Could you tell me the name of the bio please?

[downunderfrog]

@timeanagain hey there...the pilot's name was Marseille... they called him 'The star of Afrika'......he had something like 153 victories to his name......I do know that he came from a French Huguenot family..the bio shouldn't too hard to find on yahoo.....

[timeanagain]

@downunderfrog thanks I found the book! Looks like a good one. I love the music too.

[zimadude99]

@timeanagain The name is Hans-Joachim Marseille, and there is an article in Wikipedia.

Enjoy.

[OneEyeWonderWeasil]

@zimadude99 same here! Hans-Joachim Marsielles is my favorite fighter ace!

[RamblerReb]

@zimadude99

Yup, Hans-Joachim Marseilles, widely considered the finest combat pilot on either side during the war. Imagine a steady stream of battle-hardened Lufwaffe aces visiting his body in that desert airfield sickbay while this song plays constantly in the background. Surreal!

[l0b1z0n]

que barbaro...que herosa melodia

de donde era esta orquesta?

[musilongas]

@l0b1z0n . Saludos... Cubana

[l0b1z0n]

@musilongas gracias, pense que el director de orquesta era español.

Esa musica tiene magia

[IHEARTBRIGHTON]

I think half of the views are from me :)

I discovered this song whilst watching a film and I had to find this song i LOVE it!

Just shows you, I'm 15 and i like this 1938(?) Piece !

[Margabo]

And by me. xD Also discovered watching a film.

[lalubella111]

aimee and jaguar?

[IHEARTBRIGHTON]

Yes indeed, Aimee and Jaguar :)

[scramignon]

@IHEARTBRIGHTON do a search for "Caetano Veloso Rumba Azul"

[lievehippie]

Very sensual
