Happy Birthday John Barry!
Rather than post clips of well-known John Barry tunes, I thought I'd go with a couple of recordings which sound like they were favourites of the late great British film scoring legend. James Bond fans should listen closely to Django Reinhardt's rendition of the Ary Barroso standard Aquarela do Brasil at the 0:42 mark and Celia Cruz's spellbinding incantation Plegaria a Laroye accompanied by Sonora Matancera at 1:01.
