It is all Walt Disney’s fault.. and the globalisation attempt.. hybridism within standardization.
In Blanca Nieves y los 7 enanitos is when I first heard Someday my prince will come.
I absolutely loved the song.
2nd time I heard it was Bill Evans’ version.
I absolutely loved the song.
And then, when I was bored out of my skull waiting for my dear students to pitch up, an inevitable soft chacarera feel crawled up on the pedal point (the last part where the bass stays on one place while the chords move).
Because I absolutely love the song, I recorded this version:
Check from 0:53 onwards.
Perhaps you can imagine on the intro the difficulties the poor thing goes through to get the princess (I mean, the horse mainly).
He eventually gets some relief with a sweet steady-paced chacarera and the conversation between the two starts. More like a dance..
and then.. then there is life. A malambo that will rush time, love and all there is.
Enjoy!
