Los Indios Tabajaras - Maria Elena

[@JeffBiggar]

Kyler Tapscott has a new video for you to check out entitled RIPPER. This piece was written by his father John Tapscott, who taught both myself and Kyler to play the guitar, and who exposed us to Los Indios Tabajaras. Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqO8cptqi9eogrs

[@ajk1047]

This song takes me back to a time I had at Butlins in the 60's. There was a bar with a jungle theme, trees,vines and grass everywhere, with small private seating areas surrounded by a magical forest.. I was with my wife to be and Maria Elena drifted through our little world, It was absolutely awesome, probably the best time of my life. Thank you for posting and rekindling such precious memories.

[@高田忠-t1k]

今年70歳になりました。私が20歳の時東京の新宿に住んでいました。当時は買ったばかりのステレオで休日はレコード店へ行っては好みのレコード探しにほとんど1日を費やしていました。今でも印象的なのはロスインディオスタバハラスのギターデュオのマリアエレーナと言う曲です。毎日有線放送を流しているお店で仕事をしていました。お気に入りの曲が流れるとすぐにリクエストしたり曲名を電話で聞いて後日直ぐにそのレコードを買いに行きました。日々行きつけの喫茶店でタバハラスのレコードをかけてもらいながら飲むコーヒーが今でも忘れません。ああ、あの頃は本当に良かったなあと我が青春期を思い出す昨今です！

[@高田忠-t1k]

もちろん初めて買ったのはタバハラスの2枚組みのL Pレコードです。その後も私は音楽を聴くのが大好きでジャンルを問わずお気に入りの曲が耳に入るとすぐにリクエストや自分なりに探して買い求め続けた結果数回都内で引越しをした時にはオーディオ機器、またレコードが大半を占め大変でしたね。タバコは吸ったことは1度もありませんがお酒が好きで深酒はせずにほろ酔い気分で聞くその日その時の音楽を楽しむことが唯一の癒しでしたね。今でこそKZbinがあり、我が人生はここに有りと最高の幸せを満喫しながら楽しませていただいています。有難いですね。

[@mylesgarcia4625]

Gorgeous! Fabulous! My eyes are literally tearing up at beautiful music like this-- the day after my 72nd birthday. Where did the old melodies like this go? Now we have crap rap, and hip-hop drek masquerading as music! I really weep for the times today. Thank you, guys for your ineffable playing of a classic!!

Italy. Ricordo questa dolcissima musica da quando fu pubblicata nel 1952 da i Los Indios Tabajaras. Allora avevo 14 anni, ora ne ho 72. Bravissimi i due chitarristi. Los Indios Tabajaras. Nel 1962 ottennero un grande successo in tutto il mondo con la riproposizione della canzone María Elena che avevano pubblicato quattro anni prima e composta nel 1936 da Lorenzo Barcelata. " English" I remember this sweet music since it was published in 1952 by the Los Indios Tabajaras. I was 14 then, I am 72 now. The two guitarists are very good. Los Indios Tabajaras. In 1962 they achieved great success all over the world with the revival of the song María Elena which they had released four years earlier and composed in 1936 by Lorenzo Barcelata.
