Finally here's to you the poll on 

LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC!

You can post a 

1) Latin American song 

or 

2) a song with influences taken from Latin American music or rhythms.

By Latin American music I mean the music of Central America and South America. So, from Mexico to Patagony or Tierra del Fuego, passing through all the states that are in the middle, including the Caribbean islands. They are all countries where Spanish is spoken, with the exception of Brazil, where Portuguese is spoken (There is also some state that was a French or Dutch colony).

In this way, I believe the topic is vast enough to allow everyone to participate. For example, if one likes reggae, he could post a Bob Marley song, but also a Police or Clash etc song contaminated with the rhythm of the reggae. I give this example because it contains three very famous artists, obviously I don't want to give any suggestions. 

Now, Latin American music is really varied: 

- Mexico: mariachi, Latin rock, chicano rock, tex mex
- Jamaica: rock steady, ska, raggae, 
- Cuba: mambo, cha cha cha
- Other Caribbean folk: salsa and bachata, merengue, etc.
- Peru, Chile, Argentina: Latin american folk, Andean folk, Latin jazz etc
- Brazil: Bossanova, beguine, rumba, samba, lambada
- Argentina, Uruguay: tango

and many other types of music that don't come to my mind now. 

Pay attention: Dont post Spanish or Portuguese music, unless it is influenced by Latin American rhythms. For example, Gypsy Kings mostly play Spanish music, not Latin American (flamenco is Spanish music), although some of their songs make a mixture of Spanish and Latin American music. 

Everyone will judge himself: if a person believes that a pop/rock song has a clear, evident contamination with Latin American music (in the sense of rhythm, composition or arrangement), he is free to post it. The important thing is that the Latin American influence is clearly evident. 

I ask you to indicate the type of Latin American music with which the song you offer is impregnated. 


***To make the knowledge of Latin American music greater, in this poll I also propose, for those who want (it is optional), to put a song "out of competition", which must not be voted on, of a different genre from the one submitted for the vote.

For the secon and last time, 

Francesco Guccini - Scirocco (TANGO)

Probably the best melodic tango song written by an Italian singer-songwriter, who enjoys an extraordinary performance by Juan José Mosalini at the bandoneon.

I thought of of this song to show that a great songwriter (as Guccini) can write excellent music and produce a song where the musical score and the arrangement are more importanti than the lyrics.

Music: Guccini and Biondini
Lyrics: Guccini.

On the double-bass: Ares  Tavolazzi (ex Area)
On the bandoneon: the master Juan José Mosalini (ex collaborator of Astor Piazzolla) 
On the acoustic guitar: Juan Flaco Biondini
On the drums and percussions: Ellade Bandini
On the piano: Vince Tempera




-------

EDIT: 

OUT OF COMPETITION:

Little Steven (featuring Bruce Springsteen): NATIVE SON (RAGGAE)

Djavan (w/The Manhattan Transfer) - Capim
 
Djavan is a Brazilian singer/songwriter who has been around for quite a while and he sings in Portugese.  But before you put the brakes on this entry, his music is inspired and based around Latin-American music, in this particular case, Bossanova. 
 
This track was originally recorded with him as a solo artist.  I thought about posting that version, but when The Manhattan Transfer wanted to put it on their "Brasil" album, they invited him to be a part of it as he composed it and originally sang it.  So, it is his song and he sings lead on this version.  The original version is bright and very well done, but I prefer this version as The Transfer's vocal harmonies give it a more hazy feel that I love even more, making it almost sound dreamy.  Plus you also get Stan Getz guesting on sax and doing an amazing job.  And you get to hear the better side of TMT that most people don't get to hear, their amazing harmonies only add to this track.
 
So, here it is.  I hope you enjoy it.
 
 
OUT OF COMPETITION:
 
Shearwater - Rooks
 
 
Edit:  Ok so I misunderstood the Out of Competition was supposed to be latin influenced, I just assumed it could be anything.  But it's a song I love anyway that I wanted to share, so I'm leaving it so you can listen to it so you know what is not a Latin-based track.
 
But, here is an out of competition latin style track that's a lot of fun with a reggae flavor:

Mike, soon I'll insert your song .... let me enjoy some more of the writing
HASTA SIEMPRE COMMANDANTE CHE GUEVARA! Wink


EDIT: in Italy, the bossanova rhythm is famous for the songs of Toquinho ... which I can't stand. This song is bossanova of a higher level, it looks like a jam session.

YaySmile! Though Lorenzo is younger than me, he may be familiar with the band. Inti Illimani were probably the very first band I saw live, at the age of 14 or 15. They were touring Europe in September 1973, when the bloody coup in their homeland of Chile happened (the other September 11, for those who remember it), and spent the next 15 years in exile in Italy. For a time they lived in the town of Grottaferrata, south-west of Rome, which is a place very dear to my heart - my maternal grandfather's home town, and also the place where my parents are buriedHeart.

Unfortunately, in more recent years, the band underwent an acrimonious split, so at present there are two Inti Illimani - Histórico and Nuevo. This track is by Inti Illimani Nuevo, and dates from 2012.

Oh jeah, Inti Illimani forever! I listened to them when I was a teenager. Great Andean folk!

Tribe of Gypsies - Admit It



Tribe of Gypsies is a Latin rock band. I discovered them in the early 2000s, while searching stuff related to Bruce Dickinson's solo albums. I learned that Roy Z and the other members (except for Bruce, of course, and Adrian Smith) of Dickinson's solo albums have another band, and that is ToG. I like their music, so I chose to participate here with one of their songs. Enjoy!

OK, here I am with more harp music (also violin and band).  And I did take Micky's thoughts elsewhere on a live performance, but for some reason YT does not have a lot of Carlos Reyes studio recordings (perhaps because he's fun to watch).  This is Niko's Rumba (Brazil): 

          ******************************************************************************

And out of competition.  This is Athy, from Argentina, with Indigo Profundo, an original composition, which is certainly written with Latin American influence (Argentinian?).  Also fun to watch live, so perhaps the dearth of studio recordings on YT.

Thanks Mike. I've not found another link, so I changed the song... but not the author.

Kronos Quartet & Astor Piazzolla - Five Tango Sensations: Anxiety



And "out of competition," here's a novelty, heavy metal mariachi:

Metalachi - Crazy Train

Hey Lorenzo..  great poll here...

One question..  Can you retire the offensive political message?  or one is allowed to post their own..?  (I think it is not the idea nor the spirit in a 'music' poll, no?).
