60's Beat Black is Black cover in HINDI & as a backing track for El Luis (Flamenco) The 60's hit song "Black is Black" had a notorious rhythm track that everybody can immediately recognize. In this post I present two recordings you may not know that are based on Black is Black. First comes 70's flamenco star El Luis , a very interesting artist born in Galicia Spain, that however grew up in Argentina and finally started his career in Spain. His recording "yo te lo digo cantando" is one of my favorites. However, here we are to talk about another of his hits called Beibe, no huyas mas ( Baby, don't escape anymore). It takes the rhythm track of black is black and delivers on top of it a raw and tough flamenco vocal performance with new melody and lyrics. The recording is from 1977.

Las Grecas en Turco ( in Turkish ) !!!! 1975   One of Spain's biggest success stories in modern music was the female duo Las Grecas about which I had written previously here . Their first two LP's from 1974 & 1975 produced by Jose luis de Carlos had heavy metal, psychedlic guitars and drums clashing with the wild voice of Edelina Muñoz Barrull (Tina ) (RIP). I was happily shocked to discover a really amazing vinyl 45rpm ( 45 devir) by a female Turkish artist called Perihan doing a very nice cover version of a Las Grecas song. The original of the song is Negros son tus ojos writer being Muñoz from Las Grecas 1975 second album called Mucho Mas . The title of the turkish version is Nerden Nereye .
