Besame Mucho - instrumental cover by Dave Monk

“Bésame Mucho“ (Kiss me a lot) is a song written in 1940 by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez. It is one of the most famous boleros, and was recognized in 1999 as the most sung and recorded Mexican song in the world. The song was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. Emilio Tuero was the first to record the song, but the Lucho Gatica version made the song famous. Alys Robi recorded the song in a single album in 1943. Pedro Infante sang the song in English in his 1951 movie A toda maquina. More recently, In 2006, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, famously recorded the song for his album Amore. Here is my rather upbeat version using another great backing track from Roger Paulsson. I hope you like it. Dave The BT is available here... Mucho&results=22
