"AMAPOLA" - (1/2) Lecuona Cuban Boys !

Early interpretation of Amapola, recorded by Lecuona Cuban Boys in early thirties, seems to me to be unbeatable in its "atmospheric" climate; my absolute favourite. Still not presented on YT.

Polish 78 rpm Columbia pressing ca. 1937.

In order to maintain all possible features and natural shape of the sound of the record, re-recording from the original 78rpm was made by means of the Shure78rpm Mono cartridge without any modification, correction or "mastering".

Is that you again, Jerzy?? One of my favourite songs since 50 years back! (Though I am just 39+ forever, thank you.) Cuban music of today, salsa and shit, is endlessly repetitive and unmelodious and obnoxious, but back then it was DIVINE, DIVINE! Five attempts to post comment to Pardon, nothing registered, the site is damned. Five personal letters to you, no trace of them, Please contact me, Lili/Helena's portrait!

Thank you.

I hope I will be able to explain to you how this system works.

And everything will be clear.

Enchanting music and hauntingly beautiful rendition. I'm equally as impressed with your professional-quality graphics. The dissolves

are really impressive.

Pic a typical representation of a Nordic or Aryan beauty and so characteristic of young beautiful females of that era... a 'Jean Harlow' type... would you say?

[chinchyesek]

I like this version too and I'm not that old... rivals Nana's 'poppy fields ' version...

thanks

La música tiene que ver mucho con la brisa del mar, la evocación de los paisajes y con la primavera. Amapola, es una expresión de la naturaleza cubana, con la inimitable interpertación musical de la Lecuona Cuban Boys.
