La Paloma - Ricky King - Cover by Dave Monk

“La Paloma“, known in English as No More, is a popular Spanish song that has been produced and reinterpreted in diverse cultures, settings, arrangements, and recordings over the last 140 years. The song was composed and written by the Spanish composer from the Basque region Sebastián Iradier (later Yradier) in the 1850s. In 1859, it was registered at the copyright office in Madrid as a “Cancion Americana con acompañamiento de Piano“. Iradier was to die in obscurity within few years, never to learn how popular his song would become. Here I am doing a version of Ricky Kings cover. I hope you like it. I am using a great backing track by Andrew McGarrick. The BT is available here to purchase... I don’t read tabs as I play by ear, so I have played this song my way. However, Phil McGarrick has provided a free TAB sheet on his website, which follows his fabulous version of La Paloma. (
