Benny More - Hoy Como Ayer (DVD)
Benny More epitomized the big-band Afro-Cuban sound of the 1950s, and became a national icon with his broad range of material and his knack for catchy, pop-influenced songs that were nonetheless entirely original. He could capture the wistful nostalgia of lost love with aplomb in his romantic boleros, while his mambos and rumbas remain irresistibly danceable. The manifestation of a rags-to-riches triumph, More's humble beginnings as a farmer palpably informed his later music in its complexity, emotion, and the dynamic combination of Afro-Cuban music with
indigenous Cuban music of Spanish origin known as guajiro music. This insightful documentary explores the life and legend of Benny More, tracing his path from the farm to his debut in the Matamoros group, and continuing to his exile in Mexico, subsequent return to Cuba, and tragic early death in Havana. Vibrant concert footage features More performing many of his most-loved tunes, including:
Oh Vida, Santa Isabel De Las Lajas, Como Fue, Batanga No. 2, Que Te Hace Pensar, Hoy Como Ayer, Mata Siguaraya, Te Quedaras, Preferi Perderte, Qu Bueno Baila Usted, La Vida Es Un Sueno, and Mexicanita Veracruzana, among others.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

First airing on NBC in 1955, this classic television series follows the adventures of Foreign Legion Captain Michael Gallant (Buster Crabbe), the orphan he adopts (played by Cullen Crabbe, Buster Crabbe's real-life son), and his pal and colleague Private Fuzzy Knight. Posted in the desert lands of North Africa, Gallant is in charge of protecting the peace and keeping an eye on his fellow Legionnaires. With gangs and criminals ready to cause trouble at any moment, the captain has his work cut out for him. Reflecting a 1950s purity, Captain Gallant was a positive role model for children, and for his adopted son, Cuffy. This volume includes four episodes. In Spirit of Corps, Gallant must slap some sense into an arrogant new recruit. In The Search, the captain is called upon to help find a wealthy tourist who is abducted while vacationing in Africa. Meanwhile, Dr. Legionnaire sees the captain in an especially selfless and brave moment of strength. Finally, in Legion is our Home, the Legionnaires have their suspicions about a former German soldier who has joined their group.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
