The folks in the comments section say it’s Diana Krall singing ’Besame Mucho’. :(
Evora is the real deal. I think she is from Peru.
Cheers
Jazz for aficionados
Diana Krall with a distinctive Spanish accent, interesting. In 2009, Cesaria Evora was made a knightess of the French Legion of Honour by the French French Minister of Culture and Communications Christine Albanel, the first Cape Verdean who became one. Horace Silver's Father is also from the Cape Verdean Islands; hence song for my Father has an island lilt; The Album I'm speaking of. Since I have no idea where those islands are, I asked "Wikipedia" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Verde I have her in compilations but not a complete album, that must be corrected. |
frog, thanks for your well-considered comments, as always. o10, are you, or anyone else, surprised that Yma's estate didn't sue Simon and Garfinkel for "stealing/copying" "El Condor Pasa"? Actually, the whole musical plagiarism thing escapes me. It has been such a long-standing tradition, and not only in jazz, to copy/lift/modify/be influenced by all or part of songs created or performed by others that I just don't see a case for it. |
