Cucurrucucu Paloma -cover- Tomas Mendez (Version Castellana)

I wasn't thrilled about the vocal in the previous video, so I decided to torture myself by trying this one : ) Originally by Tomas Mendez, I first saw it performed by the inimitably great Caetano Veloso in Pedro Almodovar's film "Talk to Her". I'm singing in the Castilian accent (central Spain), as it's more natural for me. Admittedly there are some precarious moments here, but it's one of the most difficult vocal parts I've attempted yet (and the chords are a pain too!). Gracias a Don Arthur, y dedicado a mis padres. Hope you enjoy! : )

a) you're too hard on yrself. the vocals on ride were pretty fine- no, better than fine- and now this! milagroso!

b) inadvertantly here you utterly gorgeously put across a song so central to my childhood, so magical to me-- and i haven't come across it in years myself. one of these *moments* for which there are no words. only tears of happy gratitude. thank you again, o my friend

Thank you SO SO much, Socks. You've always been so supportive, and I appreciate your kind words immensely. It's an honor for me to be a part of moments like the one you describe. Cheers to you!

This is the best cover of this song I have ever heard. The way you sing this song, should be the way future mariachis, or anyone that sings this song , should. I love it, I LOVE IT!!!!
