None of us can. It's far too glamorous, like a luxurious mountain goat.

[@coppingtonfarnham7731]

Simply one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and an aural and visual feast watching such expert musicians play this.

This song got me into becoming a song writer, It didn't have any lyrics. So I made my own lyrics in fit them in the song, Later started playing guitar NBKA song writer. The most beautiful song in the world.

[@chyronturk]

THE SONG ACTUALLY DOES HAVE LYRICS.

[@chyronturk]

IT'S CALLED "SLOW HOT WIND" WITH THE LYRICS

[@nelsonrumayor6650]

This IS AN ORCHESTRA!!! Playing the VERY BEST of Mr. Mancini! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@kensciarretta9004]

For me this shows the beauty that humans are capable of

[@udui1o173]

This is the song "Slow hot wind" from the movie "Hatari" with John Wayne. The master Henry Mancini created this. I first heard this song when I was a kid growing up in the 60's. My Mom surely had good taste in music. I must say Dan Fontaine & his orchestra have elevated this classic to another level. The strings represented the wind & the xylophone the mystery of Africa while on safari. The musicians here performing their art have truly captivated their talent & artistry to their craft I commend all of them. Sarah Vaughan & Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 sang an excellent version of the vocals. My heart is soaring now..........

[@DanFontaine]

Let's bring back this music!

[@samueldiehl352]

Slow hot wind!!,,, thank you it's phenom ☮️💟

I LOVE LUJON -- it takes me far away, like I'm alone with my dog, on the beach, watching all the waves come in at 3:10 which I've done so often -- I miss the ocean, I'm in the beautiful mountains now and it will snow soon and I love the quiet of the snow, two totally different elements of nature, both soothing!

Amazing.. dreamy strings.. wonderfully recreated Mancini's signature sounds 🤗🤗

[@ivanord1764]

I get an image of a verandah or balcony looking out at a tropical scene at night, palm trees gently swaying in a cool breeze, light of a full moon catching the ocean, sound of the surf washing over the beach and rocks. Sitting with your lady, sipping Pina caladas. There was a scene just like that on Stingray when I was a kid, with Troy Tempest wooing the commanders daughter, with similar music

[@anacoelho4331]

I didn’t know music could make me feel this way

[@KristianHilf]

Y'all KILLED this beat LOL! On a serious note that background synth/pad you've incorporated in the original composition adds this new/contemporary sound reprise and it is brilliant! Couldn't be more happy with the visuals and your orchestra!

[@alfredtucker2128]

I’ve had Lujon as a personal ringtone for years and the 2nd tune I learned to play on trumpet after Moon River. The rendition is true to Mancini and is a pleasurable alternative rendition for the Mancini fans

Вы почти угадали, Луджион-медленный горячий ветерок. Это название горячего неспешного ветра. Он слегка обжигает, это ветерок любви. Любви уже не молодой. Любви мужчины и женщины за 35-40.

On St Lucia beach with a warm fall breeze, volcano and palm trees in the background and the ocean waves tickling the shoreline. With Mancini’s Orchestra playing Lujon skillfully in the background sipping a Bartles & James with my beautiful lady. Yes it’s like I’m there. This was my happy place when I was strapped in a face mask during radiation and chemo. Now you know where I went in my mind to get through the daily grind.

One of Mancini's many great compositions. So atmospheric. The wonderful vibrophone introduction and then the violins take flight! Still beautiful even after all these years.

[@andrewphillips4797]

Brings back every romantic thing that ever happened in my youth. Just wish it never ended.

[@chriscraftguy]

Absolutely stunning. Love the very carefully placed synth sound threaded through this almost otherwise true-to-the-original score. Gives it a bit of "now" without taking away from the song. Would be great to get the musician's "take" on playing these old tunes. Good to see them getting introduced to such gems by such an iconic composer.

[@emrite193]

3:45 The end xylophone and strings part is just sooo satisfying to hear 😌😌

[@TinarevolvestylistX]

My mom has passed now but any Mancini track reminds me of her. She played piano and had sheet music and LPs of Mancini. Brilliant work and so redolent of a time when I was a child in the sixties.

[@markbryant6273]

Although the piece is not complete, Mr. Mancini would push this new talent to make this signature piece - RIGHT!! - OLD SCHOOL STYLE!!

[@trojanmoondoggie4582]

I was at opening night at the Hollywood Bowl this year where Mancini's music was the star of the evening. Michael Buble performed (sadly only two songs!), but the orchestra did several instrumentals and I hoped this would make an appearance. Alas, it did not. I played it for my friend in the car coming home though, and she was wishing they had too. It is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and this rendition is beyond compare.

What a superb arrangement, so faithful to the master, Henry Mancini’s version and yet very subtly enhanced somehow. I’m grateful there are some musicians willing to revive the lush and romantic music of the 60s and 70s, Mancini and Jobim to name just a few. The elegance and grace of your orchestra adds much to the performance. This particular song is very dear to my heart as my husband and I used to dance to it in the kitchen (Mancini version). I sadly lost him a few months ago so this will be forever imprinted on my heart and in my memory. Thank you for this lovely and timeless performance.
