First we take Manhattan
Brilliant spanish cover of this already brilliant original. Might be difficult to find, but you will not be sorry.

Comments about First we take Manhattan:
Original is always genuine.
But this one was a really powerful reinterpretation of it. They turn it up and down, and I think Mr Cohen was kind of satisfied.
Also, what this album meant in Flamenco is so big that Leonard Cohen should be completely proud. RIP Maestro Morente.

La meilleure des deux versions est celle de Leonard Cohen mais la meilleure est pour moi la reprise qu'en a fait le groupe Sirenia.

no contest. How can you go with anyone other than Cohen here?

Cohen's sarcasm comes through wonderfully.
Check out the Jennifer Warnes version on her album Famous Blue Raincoat, though. It's worth it.
