Eviva España

Yep. Monday's here...

Here we go again...

At least, as we head out for another week of unbridled joy in the world of work, we have something to look forward to - we've booked our holiday in Spain next February!

Hoorah!

To ramp up the anticipation on this Tacky Music Monday, here's an old fave - a most bizarre video [reminiscent of that Björk one (or more likely Miss Dawn French's hilarious piss-take)] in which the faboo Spanish diva Señorita Marujita Díaz appears to be floating above the traffic while warbling a song to her home city of Madrid:

Marujita Díaz - Soy Madrileña

Love it!

Have a good week, dear reader.

Luna de España, cascabelera

Oh hell's bells. It's arrived! - my first day back in the office after two faboo weeks off, celebrating the joys of Spain followed by a week of enjoyable bits'n'bobs closer to home...

Speaking of our beloved España - how about another slice of craziness from that country on this Tacky Music Monday to try and cheer us up as we slope reluctantly into the "real" world of work again?

Marujita Díaz - Luna de España

Have a good week, dear reader. I won't.

Sigh.

Hey, Macarena!

As we stagger out into the gloom on our way to work, our thoughts are turning to holidays in Spain (fingers crossed we may get there again in February, finances permitting).

Just in time to rescue the mood, I have made yet another joyful discovery of a hereto unknown-to-us wannabe-diva from that very country, Señorita Marujita Díaz! [A little too late, admittedly; she sadly died this June, aged 83.]

However, to cheer us up on this Tacky Music Monday, here's a double-bill of the lady in her heyday. First up, the best mauve mantilla a girl could ever want, and a song called La Macarena that is definitely not associated with a 90s dance craze...

Marujita Díaz - Virgen de la Macarena

Next up, a bizarre snippet reminiscent of that Björk video (or more likely Miss Dawn French's hilarious piss-take), here the divine Señorita Díaz appears to be floating above the traffic while warbling a song to her city:

Marujita Díaz - Soy Madrileña

Fabuloso!

Marujita Díaz (born María del Dulce Nombre Díaz Ruiz, 27th April 1932 – 23rd June 2015)
