12th July 2018: Sandro – El Maniquí

Artist: Sandro Title: El Maniquí Language: Spanish How is England feeling today about the World Cup after last night’s football? I think (possibly without intending to), Sandro (from Argentina) sums it up best in this song from 1969 with these lyrics: “Mas tú creíste que eras reina, que yo, tu esclavo, debía darte todo, y así, y así te di...

Artist: Hibari Misora with The Blue Comets Title: Makkana Taiyo (Red Sun) Language: Japanese To celebrate Japan getting out of their World Cup group, we have a great tune from 1967 (I really like The Blue Comets!). Wishing them luck – it is nice to see a non-European team doing well.

24th June 2018: Skaldowie – Prześliczna wiolonczelistka

Artist: Skaldowie Title: Prześliczna wiolonczelistka (A beautiful cellist) Language: Polish The World Cup is giving me so much inspiration – today’s track is Polish. Poland are currently playing Colombia (and losing, unfortunately…), so they are probably going home after tonight, but I like this track and it has reminded me that I need to choose Polish tracks more often.

13th June 2018: 펄시스터즈 – 님아

Artist: 펄시스터즈 (Pearl Sisters) Title: 님아 Language: Korean This song is great!
