Marilyn Horne - Salangadou (1955)
Salangadou, Salangadou
Salangadou, Salangadou
Kote piti fi la ye?
Kote piti fi la ye?
Kote piti fi la ye?
Kote piti fi la ye?
La ye?
The famous mezzo-soprano opera singer is young on this 78 rpm disc. She is around age 21.
She sings a Creole folk song--or a Creole Lament
"Salangadou" speaks of a distraught mother searching for her lost child.
Marilyn Berneice Horne was born in Bradford, Pennsylvania. She was one of the four children of Bentz and Berneice Horne. I don't know why the 78 rpm disc gives her name as "Marilynn" with 2 "n" letters at the end.
I think of her as a mezzo-soprano, but she is identified on the disc as a contralto.
She is still alive, and I would love to talk to her about this early recording--what does she think of it now?
