Vivo cantando / El trovador - Luis Alberto del Parana y Los Paraguayos

Three years ago I found this colourful single by Luis Alberto del Parana y Los Paraguayos, with a cover version of 'La, la, la'. A year later, the group was at it again, with not one, but two cover versions of Eurovision songs: 'Vivo cantando' (the Spanish entry) and 'El trovador' (the Dutch entry!). 

I was actually aware that the group  had covered 'De troubadour', so I was very happy to find a copy of this single!

La felicidad / La, la, la - Luis Alberto del Parana y los Paraguayos

A few months ago I went to a record fair in Rotterdam and I was quite disappointed when I found this colourful sleeve without the actual disc in it. It's the first time I saw this one and I really wanted to have it - but unfortunately it wasn't to be. So I was happy to find a copy with the disc enclosed recently.

Yet another cover version of that Spanish Eurovision triumph 'La, la, la', then. Luis Alberto del Parana y Los Paraguayos released a lot of albums between 1957 and 1977, concentrating mainly on Spanish-oriented material. Their version of 'La, la, la' is nice but not too different from many other cover versions.
