![]() Caruso |
Lucio Dalla | 1986 | Many tenors have sung this. Perhaps the most popular version is by Luciano Pavarotti. I added a bit of modern guitar. I think my next version will be in a swing. Dalla wrote this song about the Italian tenor Enrico Caruso (1873-1921). |

Carlos Santana; Jose Fernando emilio Olvera Sierra |
1999 |
Viby Latin rock, great for Cuban cha-cha, or salsa. I managed to replicate Carlos Santana's guitar sounds on my keyboard. The song's title is about a heart that is stung by thorns. |

Any song with na-na-na-na has great party vibe... I added some more modern synth sounds. |
