Top Tracks: Un Homme Et Une Femme, Samba Saravah, Aujourd'hui C'est Toi, Plus Fort Que Nous
While flipping through those $1 bins you may or may not stumble upon this bright pink treasure. Even if you have or have not seen the movie, you'll probably recognize the title track, Un Homme Et Une Femme, in either it's instrumental or vocal version. It was nominated for an Oscar for best original song and is used in numerous commercials in Finland. Co-Writer of the film, Pierre Barouh, who also played the deceased husband, sings on the track Samba Saravah, which is a cover of a Brazilian song Samba da Bencao (written by Baden Powell). Much like OST, the music ranges from the different moods that film goes through. You will find intensity and drama with the instrumental Aujourd'hui C'est Toi, while in the vocal version you will find beauty with the lounge singing. If you are a movie buff or are just looking for some great world music, this is a perfect find for a $1. Check it out.
Happy Hunting!
