Cole Espanol, 1958
traditional
This is a traditional Mexican corrido, originally about a woman who does to fight in the Mexican revolution because of her love for a man. In Cole's version, the going to war part is left out, and it's a declaration of a soldier of his love for Adelita, declaring that he'd follow her anywhere, even in a military car or train, and would love to buy her a silk dress. Over a guitar and bright horn lines, Cole sings in Spanish, which sounds fairly decent to my untrained ears, albeit his delivery is somewhat halting. When the male chorus comes in, it's a fuller sound and a smoother, more fluid Spanish.
