Canta En Español by Petula Clark: A Vintage Gem That Still Swings Let’s cut to the chase—Petula Clark’s Canta En Español isn’t just another album; it’s like finding an old vinyl at a flea market and realizing you’ve struck gold. Released in 1964, this jazz-pop crossover is smoother than your grandma’s flan recipe, with a dash of chanson vibes and easy-listening charm that makes it impossible not to vibe along. First off, kudos to Petula for stepping out of her comfort zone and singing entirely in Spanish. Yeah, she nails it, even if her accent sounds more Parisian café than Madrid street corner. The album was released in Spain and Mexico under labels like Disques Vogue and Hispavox, which kinda feels like getting invited to two birthday parties instead of one. Props to Mapel too (who wrote tracks A1 and B1), because without them, we wouldn’t have some of these earworms. Now, let me tell ya about two tracks that stuck with me harder than salsa stains on a white shirt: 1. "Cantando Al Caminar": If this song doesn’t make you want to grab a fedora and stroll down a cobblestone street while dramatic lighting follows you, then I don’t know what will. It’s got that dreamy je ne sais quoi vibe going on—thanks to its French roots as “Je Chante Doucement.” But here’s the kicker: hearing Petula sing it in Spanish adds this whole new layer of sass. Like, imagine Audrey Hepburn deciding to take tapas lessons during her Roman Holiday. Iconic. 2. "Tú No Tienes Corazón": This one hits different. Originally Burt Bacharach’s "Anyone Who Had A Heart," Petula gives it a Latin twist that somehow makes heartbreak sound classy. You can practically picture yourself nursing a glass of red wine at a dimly lit bar, pretending you’re in a telenovela. The lyrics sting, but the melody soothes—it’s like emotional whiplash wrapped up in velvet. Oh, and how could I forget "Hello, Dolly!"? Or should I say, "¿Qué Tal, Dolly?" Because nothing screams international flair quite like turning Broadway into bilingual bops. It’s upbeat, quirky, and honestly, it’s the kind of track that makes you wanna dance awkwardly in your kitchen while microwaving leftovers. No shame. Here’s the thing about Canta En Español: it’s not perfect. Sometimes Petula’s pronunciation feels like she learned Spanish from a textbook written in 1950. And yeah, maybe the arrangements are a little dated now. But isn’t that part of its charm? It’s like flipping through an old photo album—you notice the imperfections, sure, but they only add character. So, would I recommend this album? Absolutely. It’s proof that music transcends language barriers—and also that Petula Clark had range for days. Just don’t ask me to pick a favorite track again—I’d rather choose between pizza and tacos. Final thought: Listening to Canta En Español is like taking a time machine back to when life felt simpler… except now you can stream it on Spotify. How wild is that?

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Petula Clark’s album *Canta En Español* wasn’t just another pop record. Released in 1964, it was her way of connecting with Spanish-speaking audiences in Spain and Mexico. What makes it special? She didn’t just sing in Spanish—she reimagined some of her biggest hits, like "Hello, Dolly!" and "Anyone Who Had A Heart," giving them a fresh Latin twist. Plus, the track "Pequeña Flor" (a version of Sidney Bechet's "Petite Fleur") shows off her jazz roots. It’s wild how one album can blend so many styles—chanson, vocal, easy listening—and still feel timeless.
