latin sounding tunes?

Whistle

Anybody know any whistle playable
latin sounding tunes? Calypso?
I can do ‘Jamaica Farewell,’ which
sounds fine, in fact. (This note
was inspired by the earlier thread
concerning ‘The Girl From Ipenema’
which is still beyond me.)

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY-O!

I can play a bit of that on my whistles…not really well mind you! Other than that, I’ve heard our box player bust out some Led Zeppelin now and again. :slight_smile:

Do Spanish tunes count as Latin? If so there’s a page of them at Richard Robinson’s tune place. Go to the search form and click on Spain to get the whole list.
