about

Amapola is one of the most famous latin songs (composer Joseph Lacalle from Cadiz/ Spain). In 1941 it reached #1 on the Billboard charts and was sung by American soldiers in WWII with irony as they fought in France and saw the poppies (Amapolas) on the fields.
In 1990 “Amapola” was sung during the first Three Tenors concert in Rome.
An orchestral version of “Amapola” directed by Ennio Morricone served as a leitmotif in the film “Once Upon A Time In America”.
The Red Poppy ( Amapola in Spanish) also has special significance for Australians.
Worn on Remembrance Day (11 November) each year, the red poppies were among the first to flower in the devastated battlefields of northern France and Belgium in the First World War. In soldiers’ folklore, the vivid red of the poppy came from the blood of their comrades soaking the ground.
