Chevy Suburban

[sketchyrx]

I Swear! Doesn't this sound like something off the Pulp Fiction soundtrack?? Dick Dale did Misirlou on that. I'm not going to say it is exactly that song but it sure sounds like the same style. Anybody with me on this?

The main similarity I think is the trumpets in both songs.

Misirlou was released in 1961 and it has different, richer, rock beat to it . Dick Dale relates to a surf-type music and it's all about the guitar. It is a classic. It is fast.

I think Chevy song has the similar energy, but I didn't hear a guitar and there's also some singing in spanish. The beat to me sounds very different, much slower than Misirlou. Also, it looks like the trumpets carry the song, but I may be wrong 'cause we can just hear part of it.

I researched different types of Latin music and our Chevy song seems to be some kind of fusion between traditional and modern.

I don't think they belong to same type of music - eventough they have some similarities.

This is just my 2 cents, I am no music expert.

I'm dying to find out the name of the song as well. I had this song 7-8 years ago but it was lost when I had to move frequently. If someone provide a link to the ad online, I can ask some musician friends to identify it. I haven't been able to find the ad online.

After browsing through tons of trumpet-related pages on wikipedia, I found the name of the trumpet player who performed this song with John Williams and the Boston Pops Orchestra in 2000 (not sure about the year).

Song name: La Virgen de la Macarena (AKA Virgen de la Macarena)

Performed by: Arturo Sandoval (there could be othere people as well)

I am 90% sure about this because I could only listen to the first 10 secs on itunes. Could someone find a stream or download for this track?

sorry for multiple consecutive posts. this board doesnt let me edit my previous posts.

Looks like the song is performed by many other musicians. The canadian brass also has this in one of their albums ( http://stores.yahoo.com/canbrass/philips--...-432-571-2.html ).

I found one download but the quality is poor. ( http://screamtrumpet.com/arturo/macarena.mp3 )

The version played in the tv ad is different from the one on Arturo's album although it could also be performed by Arturo. All I'm saying is that there are many rearrangements of this song. Hope this info helps.

The downbeat makes this version of La Virgen de la Macarena hot! B) I couldn't

To All:
I wrote the ad company responsible for the putting together the the Chevy Suburban add and this was the reply. He has the name and composer, but no the specific album or positive about the artist. It is re inforcing what might have already been found out already!!! WOOHOO!!!!!

Hi William,

Glad to hear you like the Chevy Suburban commercial. I do have a little bit of information about the music. It’s a track called “Loco” composed by Gerard Langella. I know it’s appeared on a couple of European compilation albums, but I don’t have have specific album titles and not sure where to obtain a copy domestically. But hopefully the track and artist info. will help you track it down.
