The countdown to Spain continues...
...and no such countdown could be complete without featuring possibly our favourite Spanish singer of them all, Patron Saint of "¡Drama, cariño!", Señorita Mónica Naranjo!
Possessor of one of the most powerful voices, anywhere - on this one [surprisingly, one I have not featured here before], she really gives it the full, OTT, works!
I have, of course, featured the great lady and her demi-operatic numbers many times before - not least here, here, here and here. However, there is one song of hers that crops up most regularly, our best-loved number in her repertoire and a "house fave" at parties (for very good reason)! All together, now...
¡Fabulosa!
Roll on Saturday...
[Amor y lujo = "Love and luxury" in Spanish]
Wish I could get away from this grey miserable weather as well.

I wish I could get away all winter, to be honest! Jx
DeleteSame here Scarlet. I've been teaching myself Spanish thanks to Duolingo I'm on day 28 and it's coming along nicely "Quiero dos cafe con leche por favor y un cogiendo".

DeleteWhat a voice and presence. I love the Amor y Lujo video.
ReplyDeleteShe is stupendous! We fell in love with her music many years ago (thanks to some of the bars in Torremolinos, who played mainly Spanish hits) - but when we actually saw that video, Señorita Naranjo was immediately elevated to Gay Icon/Patron Saint status... Jx
