Here is an adaptation for Ukulele of a Spanish song composed by Consuelo Velasquez in 1935: Besame Mucho.
Besame Mucho is an ultra cover song. For example, I think it would be futile to try to list the number of cover existing. I discovered this song through the animation gigs. Indeed, it is a song that is good to have in his repertoire as it is regularly requested and welcome.
Among the many covers, it is that of the French guitarist Nelson Veras that I would like to quote here.
Why this song.
As said above, Besame Mucho is one of the songs I have in my repertoire. It is therefore quite natural that during holidays with the Ukulele, I had fun looking for a way to make a solo version.
Music.
The harmony of this song is very simple. Indeed, with its three first, fourth and fifth degree chords, we are here with a basic harmonic march. That’s very good, because I don’t happen to be one of those people who thinks it takes a lot of chords to make rich, sophisticated music. If we had to prove it, here is a good example. The melody of this composition has a strength that I think it is worth mentioning.
There is also something in the composition that allows lots of freedom when you play it.
