         APENAS PARA OUVIR E NADA MAIS, MAS QUE ESPETÁCULO!...

Comentário:
Lujon também conhecida como “slow hot wind”   (realmente a melodia dá a sensação de um vento lento e quente), é uma composição musical de Henry Mancini. Apareceu no seu álbum “mr Lucky goes latin” de 1961,  mas é uma composição musical que não tem nada a ver com o programa de televisão “mr Lucky”. Foi incluída na trilha sonora do filme “the big lebowski”, “sexy beast”, e no filme “two lovers”. O nome se originou da percussão instrumental produzida por shelly manne que foi chamado de “lujon”, como se fosse um trocadilho, criado por John Lewis do grupo “modern jazz quartet”

Mancini viria a gravá-la numa versão de jazz/swing e incluiu-a no seu álbum  de 1975, symphonic soul. A música alcançou o 38º lugar na lista de “adult Contemporary de 1976.

     original
"Lujon" (also known as "Slow Hot Wind") is a musical piece by Henry Mancini It appeared on his 1961 album Mr. Lucky Goes Latin but was an original piece of music that had nothing to do with the Mr. Lucky television program. It was included in the soundtracks for the films The Big Lebowski, Sexy Beast, and Two Lovers. Its name comes from the percussion instrument played by Shelly Manne which was named "lujon" as a pun on "John Lewis" of the Modern Jazz Quartet, who commissioned its construction.
Mancini would later record a jazz/swing version of "Slow Hot Wind" and include it on his 1975 album Symphonic Soul. The song would eventually reach the #38 spot on the Adult Contemporary list in 1976.

Se fue la luz en todo el barrio
Prende las velas que la fiesta no se apaga
Se fue la luz en todo el barrio
Prende las velas que la fiesta no se apaga
Esta noche quiero ser tuyo
Esta noche he de ser tuyo
 
Está de noche en Cartagena
Y tu vestido negro tiene poca tela
La borrachera está muy buena
Yo sigo aquí bailando como las palmeras
 
Esta noche quiero ser tuyo
Esta noche he de ser tuyo
Esta noche voy a ser tuyo
Esta noche soy todo tuyo
 
Así, bésame en la boca
Que la luz se fue y nadie nos ve
 
Bésame en la boca
Bésame en la boca
Bésame en la boca
Que la luz se fue
Bésame en la boca
Bésame en la boca
Bésame en la boca
 
Tenemos hasta que amanezca
Para besarnos y bailar sobre la mesa
Tú con tu pierna entre mis piernas
Yo suavecito acariciando tus caderas
 
Esta noche quiero ser tuyo
Esta noche he de ser tuyo
 
Bajo la sombra de la luna
Quiero morder tus labios como una aceituna
Bajo las sombre de las velas
Voy a llevarte por un viaje a las estrellas
 
Esta noche quiero ser tuyo
Esta noche he de ser tuyo
Así bésame en la boca
Que la luz se fue y nadie nos ve
 
Bésame en la boca
Bésame en la boca
Bésame en la boca
Que la luz se fue
Bésame en la boca
Bésame en la boca
Bésame en la boca
 
Se fue la luz en todo el barrio
Prende las velas que la fiesta no se apaga
Se fue la luz en todo el barrio
Prende las velas que la fiesta no se apaga
Se fue la luz.

Nota: - fusão atraente de ritmos colombianos/latinos propulsivos com a distinta guitarra acústica mas acelerada de Juanes, "La Luz" captura sedução na escuridão de uma pista de dança de Cartagena
        - "La Luz" foi composta (música e letra) por Juanes e é a primeira canção em idioma espanhol produzida por Steve Lillywhite -com a colaboração de Emmanuel "Meme" del Real do Cafe Tacvba.
         - O primeiro single antecipado do próximo álbum, ansiosamente aguardado do superstar do rock latino, "La Luz" está disponível no mundo inteiro em lojas de músicas digitais, serviços de transmissão on-line e rádio.

Harry Belafonte (born Harold George Bellanfanti Jr.; March 1, 1927) is an American singer, songwriter, actor, and social activist. One of the most successful Jamaican-American pop stars in history, he was dubbed the "King of Calypso" for popularizing the Caribbean musical style (originating in Trinidad & Tobago) with an international audience in the 1950s. His breakthrough álbum Calypso(1956) is the first million-selling LP by a single artist. Belafonte is perhaps best known for singing "The Banana Boat Song", with its signature lyric "Day-O". He has recorded in many genres, including blues, folk, gospel, show tunes, and American standards. He has also starred in several films, most notably in Otto Preminger's hit musical Carmen Jones(1954), Island in the Sun(1957), and Robert Wise's Odds Against Tomorrow(1959).
Belafonte was an early supporter of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s, and one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s confidants. Throughout his career, he has been an advocate for political and humanitarian causes, such as the anti-apartheid movement and USA for Africa. Since 1987, he has been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. In recent years, he has been a vocal critic of the policies of both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama presidential administrations. Harry Belafonte now acts as the American Civil Liberties Union celebrity ambassador for juvenile justice issues.

            Anthony Dominick Benedetto (born August 3, 1926), known professionally as Tony Bennett, is an American singer of traditional pop standards, big band, show tunes, and jazz. He is also a painter, having created works under his birth name that are on permanent public display in several institutions. He is the founder of the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Astoria, Queens, New York.
       Born and raised in Astoria to an Italian-American family, Bennett began singing at an early age. He fought in the final stages of World War II as a U.S. Army infantryman in the European Theater. Afterward, he developed his singing technique, signed with Columbia Records and had his first number-one popular song with "Because of You" in 1951. Several top hits such as "Rags to Riches" followed in early 1953. He then refined his approach to encompass jazz singing. He reached an artistic peak in the late 1950s with albums such as The Beat of My Heart and Basie Swings, Bennett Sings. In 1962, Bennett recorded his signature song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". His career and personal life experienced an extended downturn during the height of the rock music era.
            Bennett staged a comeback in the late 1980s and 1990s, putting out gold record albums again and expanding his reach to the MTV generation while keeping his musical style intact. He remains a popular and critically praised recording artist and concert performer to date. He has won 19 Grammy Awards (including a Lifetime Achievement Award, presented in 2001) and two Emmy Awards, and was named an NEA Jazz Master and a Kennedy Center Honoree. Bennett has sold over 50 million records worldwide.

Someday, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow, just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh, but your lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me, but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
 
Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Because I, I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
