[HANASHIR:11732] Looking for the Perfect Ladino Wedding Song...

[Joshua Miller <jmiller...>]

Hey Hanashirites!

My fiance and I would really like to add a Ladino song to our wedding 
ceremony coming later this summer, but have been struggling to find 
something that (a) has appropriate (upbeat) lyrics (b) would sound lovely 
performed a capella or maybe with a little guitar and (c) has a melody we like.

We really like the melody of Los Bilbilicos, but the lyric "my souls 
withers away suffering from love" makes us think that it's not quite 
wedding ceremony material. :)

Scalerica de Oro is our top choice right now being a traditional wedding 
song, but we're less into the tune, and the lyrics are a bit specific about 
how the "bride has no money and no dowry, but we wish them well anyway". 
Most of my fiance's family members are fluent in Spanish, so we are 
hesitant to have this one sung. :)

Any Ladino music gurus out there have any alternate suggestions we could 
look into?

Thanks in advance for your help!
