For this song share I chose “¿Quien Sera?”, which was composed by Pablo Beltrán Ruiz and Luis Demetrio in 1953. This song was created to be played an entire orchestra as an instrumental-style cha-cha-chá song, part of a genre originating from Cuba. Later, Demetrio would write lyrics to the song. “¿Quien Sera?” became famous in America after Dean Martin performed the song with English lyrics in 1954. Not only did the language of the lyrics change, but so did the meaning. The original song was gloomy and about a man dreaming of love, while the English version is more pop-directed and tells of a man’s appreciation for a woman’s dance style. This song has been re-recorded many times over the decades and is often renamed to “Sway”. The most famous cover is Michael Bublé’s version from 2004. This song uses the English lyrics while still sticking to the big-band style. “¿Quien Sera?/Sway” is a very popular song for mariachi bands to play. Most versions include some combination of  mariachi instruments like guitars and violins as well as big-band jazz instruments like saxophone and trumpets. The beat and rhythm of this song appeals to a lot of people, which is why it is used in so many different styles of music in Mexico, America, and many other countries.
