DE CROATIA CON AMOR: VIKTORIJA NOVOSEL'S PALOMA NEGRA

 

(Ed.'s Note: We are constantly amazed at the rendition of Mexican compositions by people from other parts of the world. Some of them are quite good. We remember going out to the Narciso Martinez Cultural Center in San Bene where we listened to a Japanese group (Los Gatos Negros?) sing songs written and played by Tony de la Rosa. Although their enunciation was slightly different than the original, it was amazing how close they came to the conjunto sound.

And we are told that a Japanese female (Shirley Kwan?) artist also does a crack-up job with Cucurrucucu Paloma by composer Tomas Mendez.

A friend of ours turned us on to  Viktorija Novosel from Croatia and her rendition of the Mexican classic Paloma Negra, also composed by Mendez during a singing contest. Numerous Mexican and Mexican-American singers have interpreted this song, most notably Lola Beltran. Give it a listen. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised.)

Wow, que hermoso. I know the lady singing is not Mexican but to me it is a testament of what Mexicans can do. The problem is that most Mexicans behave like dumb asses.

My date with a Brownsville woman went well -

"I want you to give it to me all night," she said after dinner.

Romania has many good cover artists as well. Mexican television shows are very popular there.

The true meaning of 6 January: we must answer Trump’s neofascism with hope

As the first anniversary of the Capitol attack nears, all decent Americans must commit to deprogram this Republican cult. Doing so will mean paying attention to those we left behind.

- Should we deprogram Republican county judge candidate Carlos Cascos?

Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn, a crippled Trumper, is getting divorced after less than a year of marriage to a Russian woman -

The surprise is that this woman didn't fully dive into the Republican wife life.......Doing all the cooking, the laundry, the lawn, and being a baby making machine who needs to quietly sit in a corner and not speak unless spoken too? Well.........did he not know she's Russian?

(Republicans are evil and dumbasses)

Suddenly all the Republicans are in love with the Russians....what the fuck!

Our local Republicans, too?

Ask them. Get them on the record, Montoya.
