Thread Name: Nationality of songs
Subject: RE: Nationality of songs
Oh, nothing to do mix ups of origin. But getting the political national and cultural significance of a song wrong can cause problems. A member of my family (MOR singer) once naively sang Y'Viva Espania to Spanish tourists at a gig - unfortunately they were from the Catalonia region (many want independence). They weren't happy. That's getting the cultural identity of the audience wrong!
