      I never knew that Django Reinhardt was Belgian. We live and learn as we associate.

      <<Reinhardt's nickname "Django" is Romany for "I awake">>

        Well plugged

        It's simply that 'ricercar' (coming from the Italian for 'to search') is a musical form of which the most famous examples are those 'in 3 voices' and 'in 6 voices' in Bach's 'Musical Offering' - Frescobaldi and Gabrieli also wrote a variety in ricercars in various 'tones'.

        Boring, wasn't it?

        Please provide a Superior S, ams!!

        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    Sensemayá was set by Chilean Nueva Canción group Inti-Illimani. It was released in 1979 on their album "Canción para matar una culebra".

                    So now we know. Just loading it on youtube.
