Description

The second version of the Italian song "Reginella Campagnola" (in English "Woodpecker Song") is performed by the "Ramblers Dansorkest" (dance band) - Holland's most popular big band...with vocal refrain in...Italian !

Formed in 1926 they introduced jazz and swing music to large audiences with Theo Uden Masman as the band's leader from 1926 to 1964.... The Ramblers performed not only in Holland but abroad as well and played with prominent musicians such as Coleman Hawkins and Benny Carter.... In 1933 they performed on the VARA radio network and would stay there until 1964. In 1935 Jack Bulterman joinded and under his influence Dutch repertoire was featured prominently on the band's playlist and recordings. During the Second World War the band continued to perform on stage as well as on he German controlled radio station "Nederlandsche Omroep". This was regarded by many as collaboration and in 1941 the band's two jewish musicians Sal Doof and Sem Nijveen had to leave (members of the band would however help and support jewish musicians who had gone underground). From 1942 onwards The Ramblers had to change their name as well since <b>...</b>
