25/09/2008 by Nikita It was Monday when the music of Villa Rides suddenly – without a warning! – entered my thoughts and managed to settle there and it hasn’t left me since! When I got home, I couldn’t wait to search the internet to see if there’s somewhere a downloadable file, but to no avail! All I could do, was to order this cd to satisfy my Villa Rides-thirst! When I was at secondary school, I used to do my homework on Saturdays outside with classical music playing…picture this…a farm, huge oak trees – five of them – in front of the house, about 20m away from the house, birds chirping around you…..and you…doing homework! (I loved school homework and wished always for more! haha do you think I’m insane/crazy!?) with the music playing loudly — Villa Rides was definitely on my music-menu during homework time! Even the pesty baboons in the mountain opposite the house had come closer to take a listen! wow! hehehe…I’ve decided to be generous again and to share some tasters with you. The first one is the theme music from the movie with the same title…Villa Rides! And, best of all, I didn’t even know about this movie! I was so surprised when I discovered that it was actually from a movie with even the same title! Why am I the last person to know this! The second and third also only “tasters” from this cd. I like Mantovani’s music and would like to put him in the same class/category as Waldo de los Rios. This is what I call music if I have to define music! I also have more info on Fierro and Pancho Villa…very interesting – the Mexican Revolution – on which the movie was based. Do enjoy!

Baie lekker inskrywing Nikita! Ek kan dink dat dit lekker was om te studeer onder die eikeboom met klassieke musiek!
Dankie vir die musiek, ek het dit baie geniet veral die eerste een!

O ja! Nikita jy pos altyd die beste musiek. Ek was mal oor Mantovani toe ek groot geword het! My pa het BAIE langspeel plate gehad en het dit altyd Sondae geluister.
Ek onthou hoe ek musiek getape het van die TV af met my klein tape spelertjie, onthou jy daai reghoekige bokserige klein tapespelers?
Dan het dit sulke shooooo klanke in die agtergrond gehad en honde wat blaf of kinders wat skreeu ( ons is vyf ) maar dit het nie afbreuk gedoen aan my musiek nie!
Jy bring altyd baie herinneringe terug.
Daardie eerste stuk is my absolute GUNSTELING.

Maak jy my sommer lus om ‘n lekker ou spaghetti-western te kyk!

Pancho Villa is still a very controversial figure (as is his fellow revolutionary Emilio Zapata), especially in the Southwestern U.S. and even in Mexico. To some he’s a hero, to others a villian.

Hi Rick, Thanks for your comments and welcome here!
Hi Wipneus…en weet jy hoe mis ek ‘n eikeboom! Ek kan net my indink hoe mooi groen moet hulle nou wees! Hi Eilandkind…ek’s bly daardie herinneringe kan bietjie wakker gemaak word! En ja, daardie eerste snit is ook een van my baie groot gunstelinge…toe ontdek ek ‘n ander snit gisteraand…net so mooi…wat ek met die volgende inskrywing wil opsit. Hi Boer..jong, nou praat jy! Ek is GEK oor Westerns! Op skool was ons mos altyd gedwing om Engelse boeke te lees..dit was toe ek St9 was, en weekliks moes ons rapporteer oor ‘n boek en toe was Louis L’Amour my gunsteling! Het jy al van sy boeke gelees? As jy van westerns hou, glo ek jy sal sy boeke geniet. Ek hou van jou spaghetti-beskrywing 🙂
Hi Dan… I think to me he will be a villian 🙂

Dankie vir die nuwe skakels Nikita!
Ek lees vandag in die Rapport dat Paul Newman oorlede is, ag was dit nou ‘n man met die mooiste oë. Hy het my ure se kyk genot in my lewe verskaf!
Kan jy glo hy het ook nie soos die res van Hollywood aan die skei gegaan nie, hy en sy vrou was al die jare gelukkig getroud!

Ja, baie sad van hom, ek het gister op Yahoo gesien van hom…as jy op my “Chess Art/humour” link kliek, is daar een movie van hom in ‘n skaak-scene…aantreklike man gewees!!

Hi weet jy Nikita, ek het nou onlangs eers uitgevind van Spaghetti Westerns. Natuurlik by die Yank.
Blykbaar het hulle ‘n paar Westerns in Italie gaan maak, dit was seker goedkoper of iets en dit is hoekom dit so genoem word.

hi eilandkind! Nou weet ek ook waarom Boer dit so genoem het 🙂 Dankie!

Dis hoe die legendariese Italiaanse akteurs, later bekend aan hulle Engelse name Bud Spencer en Terence Hill, hulle name gemaak het. Ek was ek lief vir die twee se flieks!!!!

Boer! nou praat jy! Daardie twee het flieks gemaak waarvoor ek lekker gelag het!

this from the States…transplanted South African.
I have just found this post…I was searching for Villa Rides.After all these years, I remember how the music in the movie blew me away. Same with Waldo de los Rios!!……themes from The Mission and Columbus fall into the same category of ” Holy Smoke..”Where was the farm you grew up on?…makes me heartsore.

hi Richard, welcome to my blog and thanks for your message – you’re actually even more welcome as an ex-Saffa! 🙂
I’m glad you could find the music at last, even if it was just here … Waldo de los Rios is GREAT! and I agree, he blows your mind away with his music. The farm where I grew up is in Mpumalanga – Eastern Transvaal – near Pilgrims Rest – a tiny place called Krugerspost (named after the mail cart of Paul Kruger that was travelling via Krugerspost) Krugerspost = the post (mail) of Kruger 🙂 Believe it or not, but during the Great Trek, there was even a meeting at Krugerspost! [if you can read Afrikaans] Krugerspost is also about 20km from Lydenburg – on this map-image you can see Lydenburg and Ohrigstad and Krugerspost is between the two -on the R36 http://www.mahlahla.co.za/viewimage.asp?image=map1.jpg Op Derdepoort word besluit om al die Trekkers onder een volksraad te verenig. Potgieter weier om die volksraadsvergaderings by te woon en hierdie liggaam skaf dus op sy vergadering te Krugerspost die amp van hoofkommandant af.

I am looking for the song Villa Rides of the Mantovani Orchestra for quite some time now, do you maybe have a website or a link where I can download this song??? Here in Belgium I cannot find the cd Gypsy Soul anywhere 😦 I hope you can help me, although this post is already a few years old!

Hallo Francois! Ek sal jou kontak via email – maar eers more, dis nou bietjie laat. Ek ken ‘n Francois – wat ons bure se seun was, maar ek ken nie JOU nie! 🙂 Ek ken nie van der Merwes op Krugerspost nie – en jy weet hoe bitter klein die plekkie is. Ek dink jy moes baie lank na my daar “groot” geword het. Ek stuur jou more aan ‘n email. Jy het my ook nuuskierig. 🙂
