Unlike 'Seven' and 'BBG' I've never had my finger on the pulse of 'pop' culture. However it was Christmas 1994 and I was having a break from Thailand and taking my jollies in Cuba. Wandering the streets of Havana one night I was drawn to an abandoned department store. Following the music that emanated I entered - the place was heaving with people 'groovin' and 'dancin'. A makeshift bar and a couple of large barrels dispensing white rum. The music came from a cassette player wired up to large speakers. I had heard a fair bit of Cuban music whilst mooching around the city - but when the 'DJ' (?) played one particular track the whole crowd was up on its feet and doing a sort of 'formation' dance - a bit like the 'Hokey Cokey' I thought ! I'd never seen or heard anything like it. I tried to capture the tune in my head as I heard it a few times during my stay. In one hotel bar the 'white' girls danced to it - but they couldn't cut it like the 'black' girls. (I was a quite surprised by the 'race divide here). It wasn't till a few years later watching a movie that I heard the song again and checked the credits that I found out it was 'Macarena' a world wide hit - unknown to me. # I see todays news that Raul Castro is retiring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I read somewhere that the 'Riverdance' on stage is actually mimed - all the tappety toe sounds are pre-recordered. Perhaps Bumblebee can enlighten us ? I quite like these 'Flashmob' versions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
