EL DEGUELLO

[@BrotherC-I-was-A]

My first love of this tune came while watching Rio Bravo, one of the greatest westerns of all time. And it's on AMC and loving it all over again.

[@Sapientia3]

It means To the death , no quarter and put to the sword.

[@dougspraungel2758]

Funny. I just said those exact words to a friend last night. I was just a kid, and Rio Bravo is still one of my favs!

[@Sapientia3]

@@dougspraungel2758 Yeah, it was a Mexican battle piece and could have been written by general/ president Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana. Back in 1836 he was fighting the Texans in the Alamo in San Antonio de Bexar in the Texas revolution. The Texans had 185 men and the Mexicans had 5,000 men. He was warning the Texans surrender now or no one will be spared. So, the colonel of the Texans Col. William Barret Travis who was 26 at the time fired the cannon and the Mexicans ran off. Every once in a while some Mexican soldiers would creep up on the Alamo's walls and try to shoot Col. Travis or some men off the walls. Now, the Mexicans would play Deguello and fire the cannons at the alamo and crash dow bits on the walls. You, see the Mexicans were an established army and the o'l Texans had all the men that volunteered in the battle of Gonzales wich were 185 so the Mexicans had like 10 or 12 cannons and the Texans had 4,5, or 7 that's it. So, this went on little bit until the night of March 6, 1836 when ever single man General Santa Ana had attacked the the Alamo. at 5:30 A.M. none of the Texans were spared and all got killed inside the Alamo's walls. Then the Mexicans gathered up all the dead Texan's bodie's and burned them at Goliad. It was tragic the Texans knew they were gonna die but they loved Texas so much and did not wanna give it up that they sold their lives for THE SIEGE OF THE ALAMO!!!!! But then the General Samuel Houston gathered up to around 937 men and marched to San Jacinto and attacked the Mexicans when they were resting in their tents from battle ant General Sam Houston caught and killed the Mexicans who were running up into the hills and into the river. The Mexican army was defeated in just 18 minutes. General Antonio Santa Ana gave up all the Mexican rules over Texas and surrendered. Bam, son there's the Texas revolution in just one comment. Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎

I found this bugle call unearthly chilling and surprisingly beautiful.But what really struck me was that it was the last thing heard by countless soldiers and civilians before they left this world going back to Spain.There is a disturbingly energy in i it you can almost imagine that the music carries with it those last moments of terror.I am part Spanish so no intent to insult the Spanish culture but I have noticed a tendency to join beauty with death.It's a strange thing.

[@darby5987]

You're correct about the trumpet call "El Deguello" in the 1960 movie. That was not the bugle call used by Santa Ana. Dimitri Tiomkin composed the song circa 1958 and it was originally used in John Wayne's "Rio Bravo" in 1959. It was used the following year in John Wayne's "The Alamo". Wayne directed both movies and Tiomkin was Musical Director for both movies. The bugle call used by Santa Ana was "Toque a Deguello" literally "touch the throat" but means cut the throat.
