SUNDAY TREAT: CLASSIC PALOMA NEGRA SUNG BY A CROAT

  

(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) 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, down to De la Rosa's the accordion trills.

And we are told that a Japanese female (Shirley Kwan?) artist also does a crack-up job with Cucurrucucu Paloma by composer Tomás Méndez and originally released by Chavela Vargas in 1961

A friend of ours turned us on to  Viktorija Novosel from Croatia and her rendition of the Mexican classic Paloma Negra, also composed by Méndez 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.)
