Got to know this Mr Xavier Cugat through Mr Wong Kar Wai's films. Soul catching tunes, in mandarin we called it Gou Hun ( hook the soul ). And it is totally retro and elegant ,just perfect for WKW's movie. I have no doubt that he is one of the best Latin musicians who ever existed.
I began to understand more about the Latin ppl when i was in Mexico. Their culture is very open to any foreigner who speaks English as their language, Spanish, is very similar to English (which English borrowed many vocabs from). The Latin ppl is totally different from English ppl we know. Warm and optimistic, and lazy of course. They are beautiful ppl if not too fat, whether boys or girl. Still, most Mexicans are fat and sex is casual. I can recall the first Spanish i read is from books by a Chinese author San Mao ( Echo ) about her Spanish husband, Jose. I think she picked a Spanish husband with a very Chinese character.
I find it quite bizzare that both the Asian and Latin ppl are living on the same earth but while the Latin ppl can afford an easy lifestyle / attitude, we asians have to strive hard to survive. It's weird.
Let's just enjoy their music. Jungle drums by Xaiver Cugat.
Darby.
