Please tell me: Is this the original sound to this film?

@choconatio From the Wikipedia entry:

Butoh appeared first in Japan following World War II and specifically after student riots. The roles of authority were now subject to challenge and subversion. It also appeared as a reaction against the contemporary dance scene in Japan, which Hijikata felt was based on the one hand on imitating the West and on the other on imitating the Noh. He critiqued the current state of dance as overly superficial.

In 2001, though he lost his ability to walk, Ohno continued performing and developed ways to express himself through dance solely by moving his hands. In recent years, Ohno had been under nurse's care at home, but he continued his stage appearances, particularly in the butoh works of his son Yoshito Ohno. In January 2007, he made his final public appearance in Yoshito's Hyakkaryoran at a gala celebrating his 100th birthday. He died of respiratory failure on June 1, 2010,  at the age of 103.

I do believe the singer is Alberto Rabagliati (Milano 1906 – Roma 1974) the song is Amapola from the Lecuona Cuban Boys
