Manchurian Beat
DoubleWhisky
Upper FranconiaNew Vit Cach, Dupont MD60, 1940s Castelluccia
Had a little fun transforming this Rautalanka/Surf Rock classic as known from The Sounds/The Mustangs/The Ventures/Takeshi Terauchi etcetc into a Gypsy Swing piece with one additional form of improvisation.
Manchurian Beat seems to be based on a old folk melody. If you know which one exactly, please let me know!

The tune is "On the hills of Manchuria", by Ilya Shatrov, an almost 120 years old beautiful Russian waltz with dark background:

Nice handwork...both
Thank you very much @Willie! Such a great tune, it bothers me that it has such a martial background, but a beautiful melody remains a beautiful melody...
