This week started with Cinco de Mayo which is the perfect opportunity to inject a little latin influence into the sound system.
This week in 1940 Jimmy Dorsey released one of my favorite songs – Perfidia, here sung by Linda Ronstadt
There is nothing quite like a song in Spanish to make the heart beat faster while turning up the thermostadt, here they do it even in the lyrics with “palpitar” under the heat of the sun –
To Turn the heat even higher: Julio Iglesias say “Enjoy Life” with Gozar La Vida
Placido Domingo sings of the sadness of losing a beautiful woman with La Malaguena Salerosa
And we end on a quiet note with Nina Mouskouri with La Paloma

Happy Cinco de Mayo! get set of tunes. I did a them set this week.
Lovely set — listened to Placido twice!
Somehow it never matters whether I understand the lyrics when Placido sings them. Nice Set!
