    Panama Songs

    If you can find another song about Panama (and I don't mean Van Halen) post it here. I found this little nugget (not exactly a Grammy nominee) on youtube.

    Thumbs up Shorty and Slim

    I like this song (Going Down to Panama) and several others they have. I bought the CD with this song on it about 3 months ago. My wife being from Panama and all.

    The sound of music is very familiar for me. I heard this song many times, not sure from where though. Listening to it, i started to think about Prison Break, you know about their prison in Panama.

    I found and liked this song of popular Panama folkloric music Ulpiano Vergara ,called "De nada vale llorar" , I suppose it means Is not worthing to cry or it doesn't matter if you cry ....am I at least close , hey ,are some Spanish speakers here , I am sure llorar means to cry , anyway, enjoy it .

    There's a Salsa LP with the late Celia Cruz and Willie Colón. I don't recall the title of the album, but there's a tract on there called "Sambúllete" with lyrics that pay homage to Panama.

    Panama Music? Does it mean

    “Panameñidad”.

    What is it?
    A feeling, a philosophy of Panama?

    Do You know "Panam-Music/Songs" en espanol/spanish language?

    Shorty & Slim?
    THX

    Where are they from?

    The Music sounds well-known, right?

    The "Original" maybe another popular Song?

    Cheers
    Mike

    P.S.
    Does anybody know, where to find Panamesian Music for Download? A "film" isn`t necessary...

    Presented with apologies to those who don't speak (understand) spanish. But if you like Salsa music, you'll like this...

    Re: Shorty and Slim

    First time I hear (Going Down to Panama), loved the song, the only other song I was familiar with about Panma was Van Halen "Panama".

    Re: Panama Songs

    Try stabbing the membranes on all speakers and listen to this 20-30 times at maximum volume: Mr Saik - Que Xopa (Las Zapatillas) - plena507.com - YouTube

    For the full experience the song should be interrupted 3-4 times and obscenities should be screamed on Colon-style Spanish.

    Contrail, like (Las Zapatillas), the only thing I have to learn now is the obscenities Colon style, do you know any obscenities in Spanish?
