Xtreme - Te Extrano (bachata)

Kate Ryan, Desenchante.

Sexy blonde & upbeat happy tune. A few others from her equally good like Ella elle la.

This one is quite soul digging music so best not to listen if you are feeling fragile. Part of a wonderful soundtrack composed by Michal Lorenc for a movie 'Brute' (1997).

I love heavy metal so was going to say something by Rammstein (a German band for those that don’t know).

But instead I’ll for something French by Zaz, a talented performer who uses big band music and has a fantastic voice.
