I treated myself to a rare night of this evening and another viewing of the Pedro Almodovar directed Oscar winning film Talk to Her. Great performances and direction all round including a great performance in fluent Spanish from Geraldine Chaplin.
This was the film that introduced me to Caetano Veloso, the great Brazilian singer and exponent of Tropicalismo. Here is the song he sings in the film. This is beautiful and only equalled by the Puerto Rican standard Lamento Borincano below.
