Eternamente

Pablo Milanés (1943-2022) was a Cuban composer and singer, well known mostly in Latin countries. He was married six times. For his second wife, Yolanda Benet (of French ancestry) he composed the famous love song "Yolanda" when Lynn, the first of their three daughters, was born in 1970. Their marriage only lasted five years. However, a profound friendship between them was shown publicly mostly during Pablo's last years of life, when he was fighting against his terminal disease. 
Lynn, as some of Pablo's nine children, became a singer.
Here's "Yolanda" performed by Pablo and his companion Silvio Rodríguez Domínguez. Silvio and Pablo were leaders of the Cuban musical movement Nueva Trova, started in 1967 and fading by the late 70's.

Let's party! :D

This year, I don't talk about the statistics because I noticed that the counts prior to July 2010 have disappeared by that time. Dear Blogger...

But we had nearly 27,000 visits. Lately, most of them came from Russia and Ukraine :) I want to thank everyone. We love you. All :D

Yeah, I know I posted this song before. But this is a take 2 and it's party and I don't care :^|

Have a peaceful Sunday :)

applause for Jon

From Miguel's goodbye.

I read on the newspaper today and I saw on TV news later about a ceremony he predicted as "the Plan B". The Plan A was to surpass his disease.

And so some musicians played and sang in this ceremony. One of the songs was the one below, "sung" on piano by Mário Laginha.

The clip below is about a performance with other two great pianists more, Bernardo Sassetti and Pedro Burmester.

Friend. Bigger than the thought, come down that road, come friend. Don't waste your time, because the wind, is also my friend. .In every lands, In all borders, be welcome who comes for good. If there's someone who doesn't want to, bring him with you too. .Those ones... Those who stayed... (everywhere, worldwide) visited me in dreams. Bring another friend too.

The original song:
