la rosa and Richard Farina

[Judith Cohen <judithc...>]

hi, Lucy mentioned that contrafact of "Los Bilbilicos" (La rosa enflorece)
by Richard Farina, known as The Swallow Song. I learned it in fact long
before learning the Sephardic original . But I've always wondered where he
GOT the tune to begin with; when he wrote the words to The Swallow SOng it
was longbefore the Judeo-Spanish song revival. ANy ideas? thought maybe
during his time in France? Judith
