Song

[edit]

Does anyone know what the Mexican (or Venezuelan?) folk song is called that the aracuan bird's song is 'sampled' from? I've read it somewhere it's called either 'lilongo', 'lolingo', or maybe 'gorilongo', but I can't find it anywhere. It would be interesting to hear the whole song! (Try slowing the song/sound down from the film, and you'll hear part of it). Baramartin 11:29, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I first heard about this in the late 1980's, in a television show called Disneytajm. In one episode Lasse Åberg, the host, plays the Aracuan bird's song, also the theme song of the show, at half speed. He mentions that the song originally is an old Mexican folk song "from a small village in the shadow of the big mountain Popocatépetl". This is just about everything I know. Mr Åberg has (by postcard) confirmed to me that it really is an upspeeded Mexican folk song, but he unfortunately didn't tell me its name, although I asked for it =( I have tried asking members of the Swedish donaldist organisation NAFS(k) (for example in this e-mail from 2002) for any information, but no luck! I've also asked people on a forum about Mexican folklore, but none could identify the song. Erulelyan (talk) 19:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
