- This is one of my favorites. Nato Lima is one of the best guitarists ever, and this is my rendition of his. The song was written by Lorenzo Barcelata. The guitar is my old favorite, an 18" Zimnicki Archtop. Magic tone and playability. zimnicki.com

Love the sound of this guitar and his phrasing is immaculate. In my opinion, one of the best, if not the best version here on You Tube so far!
None of us will ever live long enough to hear all the good music, drink the good wines and love for as long as we want……..
PLAYED PERFECTLY !!!
Absolutely No errors! Perfect timing! All the notes played, right when they SHOULD be played! All the vibrato just right. All the runs just right! That piece would WOW you! THANK YOU FOR IT !!!
The simple truth -- so concisely expressed. Thank you General.

My grandmother loves this song because it reminds her of my grandfather who died, we always listen to it together, thank you very much
I come back to this often. Reminds me of my childhood and the radio. I love this tune and you play it perfectly. Even the tone is like the original. Fantastic job.
Thanks so much, Larry. That means a lot to me.
ROB LOVELY YOUR VERSION OF THIS 150 YEARS OLD ROMANTIC SONG. I ADMIRE YOU FOR YOUR 'SKILLFULLY' PERFORMANCE OF MARIA ELENA. ELEGANCE N IMPECCABLE SHOW.😅
@@waynechan2804 Thanks so much, Wayne.
I could hear this version million times, without getting tired. Splendid.
Heavenly music, superb rendition of this beautiful song which touches the heartstrings. Thank you ever so much Rob Bourassa!
Thank you for your kind words, Thelma. God Bless.
Still listening in 2023.
One of the most beautiful songs and compositions!
Gave me goose bumps. Amazing how sound can enter the ear and affect the skin - and the heart.
It's one of those songs. I felt the same way when I listened to Nato Lima play it. It never gets old.
@@robbourassaguitarist You are absolutely right, sir! I have been listening to THIS song for 60 years, I NEVER get tired of hearing this timeless song. Thank you for your great rendering of this song!
You are soooo right !
This sound is only for romantic people !
🤗❤
I just do not understand why some people just listened to music to place negative comments about other talent musicians like this gentlemen playing this well known song. Instead people should encourage this sacrificed musicians to continue blessing us with their positive songs. I have listened to many versions of this song and most of them are really well played and with a lot of feelings. Sir, I can see that you feel every note you play of this beautiful song. Thanks for sharing your talent with YOU TUBE viewers like me.

Juan Antonio Gomez Gracias Juan. I do love the tune and I have always loved Nato's rendition. I pretend I am him when I play it. His recording are among my favorite in the world.

Ain't it so! Neither can I...people are so hyper-critical and judgmental it just makes me puke. I guess we just have to ignore the meanness and pettiness we encounter...nothing else to do.
Lovely. Really enjoyed listening. Great talent.
They think its a volume button, or simply morons.
No matter how many times I listen to this, I'm just amazed at how the relaxingly the soft mellow sounds puts me in a calming and grateful frame of mind!! Thanks Rob!
How wonderful to hear REAL music...Beautiful...Thank you for brightening my day!
Irmãos Tabajara que descansem em paz.... belo legado único. 🇧🇷
This is absolutely beautiful. I could listen for hours.......Hmmmmmmmmmm!
Thanks so much, Sandra.
Moje najpiękniejsze wspomnienia moja wielka milosc
I can’t see anything wrong with listening to this on replay for the rest of my day.
Played this song with my Dad 40 years ago,great times,thanks Pop
Wonderful memories.
Thank you,Rob, this is an excelent version of this “Maria Elena”. Lorenzo Barcelata,the composer, was a member of the Trio Los Calaveras, in the 1930,s, that appeared in films with the great Jorge Negrete.
Don Draper and Peggy brainstorming on this song, what an iconic moment in the show! and yes, Mad Men brought me here. Such a Classic.
This is the best version of this beautiful instrumental I have ever heard. Awesomely played! Greetings from Munich/Germany
E' una di quelle canzoni che non passano mai, che ti procurano sempre i brividi....
One of my all-time favorites Maria Elena
Magically done by the best. Awakens me to be reminded of wonderful memories of long ago!
Love it since i was very young
No me canso de ver y escuchar, para mi el mejor cover de los Indios Tabajaras, fantástico!!
Me recuerdo de mi papá con Los Indios Tabajaras
Siempre los escuchaba.
Nostalgia ya que mi papá no está. A él le debo el escuchar música que te eleva. Gracias papá. 🤗
Que bonito lo que haces amiga .recordar a tu padre con buena musica.saludos desde chile
Maria Elena is one of the most beautiful songs on the guitar ever. Mr Bourassa would make Los Indios Taba Lahara so proud today. Maria Elena must have been so enchantingly beautiful. She touched someone’s heart a longtime ago to deserve this wonderful song.
I never thought of it until you said it (so very well). That the original "Maria Elena must have been so enchantingly beautiful [that] she touched someone's heart ... to deserve this wonderful song."
I SO appreciate your facial response to this piece. I believe your "feeling" the music so deeply translates to your performance. Thank you SO MUCH for being so open AND talented!!
¡Oh que hermosa melodía que me trae recuerdos de mi niñez y yo escuchaba a mi padre que también tocaba guitarra! Felicitaciones Rob Bourassa que acompaña bien en primera ! Gracias y saludos desde Perú.
SEI UN MITO !!!!!! OGNI VOLTA CHE ASCOLTO QUESTO BRANO .......MI COMMUOVO....SEI DI UNA BRAVURA..INDESCRIVIBILEEEE!!!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!
Ile razy słucham to chce mi się tańczyć ,ten utwór ma magię. ❤
I have always thought that this is one of the best songs. I had a friend who played it in a slower tempo on a mandolin. Really beautiful both ways
My name is Maria Elena and the reason for this is my name because my father loved this tune ... Always was humming ... ILYMD
I personally think it's one of the most beautiful names I have ever heard. Now I wish I had named one of my daughters Maria Elena.
Yes I like this song Maria Elena . I always listen to my phone . Thank you very much.
Cuando una guitarra le habla al corazón, brota en el espíritu lo más apreciable de este mundo, la belleza poética hecha melodía. Sencillamente preciosa y brillantemente ejecutada. ¡Gracias mil! Caracas- Venezuela
Красивая мелодия, хорошее исполнение! Душу ласкает. Спасибо!👌🌹🌹🌹
Excellent and outstanding performance. I'll hear your music again and again. From a rating of 1 to 10, your rating is 101. You exceeded the rating scale. You are a guitar virtuoso!!!
listened and listened and listened ..I will never get tired of this stunning rendition of this beautiful song!
Emocionante! Maria Helena é um clássico musical e sua interpretação está impecável!!!💞💞💞

Cuerdas que hablan, que lloran, que gritan; es mágico ✌
A gifted guitarist who plays well. My late mother loved this piece, and would sing to it. Each time I hear it, it bring back loving memories .
Índios Tabajaras, grandes músicos, compositores e uma história que daria um lindo filme. E essa interpretação ficou incrível.
One of the most gorgeous songs ever written, and this gentleman does Los Indios proud ...
Best version ever heard ....love it ...so soothing for the soul
I am only 4 yrs Old when This sing became popular ;now Iam 81 and still captured by this song ;Maria Elena
I also shared with my husband family in Wisconsin and they all love your music you make us forget for few moments the problems we are having with this virus. We just 💕💕💕💕😊😊😊
It's hard to believe how much things have changed in the last four months.
Rob has some of Nato's unmistakable vibrato going on there.
One of the most lovely guitar tunes ever written and played beautifully.
It's one of the best guitar performances I've ever heard😌
Meravigliosa melodia...esecuzione stratosferica...bravissimo...
Lorenzo Barcelata was my great uncle, and I feel a great sense of pride to be connected to such beautiful music. I'm currently writing about his life, and his music is so vivid I could write a million words. Truly amazing cover, thank you for the sound!
Wonderful. Thank you so much. He was truly great and left this world too soon. Vaya con Dios.
GRANDISSIMO CANZONE GRAZIE.
Que melodía para hermosa y la magistral interpretación me traen grandes recuerdos 💯
An absolutely great rendition of this most beautiful song and performed by a master on the guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can’t get enough of this song
My dad was a guitarist. He showed me your video before he passed. I watch this video and think of my pops. Thanks
My sincere condolences, Jessica. I have a daughter named Jessica as well, and know it must be hard to be separated. We will meet with your father someday in heaven and God will comfort us all with His music. Till then, it comes through imperfect hands. God Bless.
Rob Bourassa Great arrangement and playing. Any chance of finding the music/tab for it? Thanks, Wes
Thank you Rob,love this song and the way you play it!I despair to play like this!
Jessica Orosco 😄
A large family here. God Bless.

Festeggio i miei 80 anni sognando ad occhi aperti!!!
a very lovely tune well played and worth listening to over and over again, the man is very talented and i wish him luck
É impressionante a interação do mestre em tocar com o seu instrumento. É divino.Parabéns meu caro.
This is the best cover ever done on this song. 👏 Made me teary eyed after repeatedly listening to it for an hour, taking only one bathroom break.
Just simply amazing! Absolutely beautiful ❤️. Thank you so much for playing this for all of us.
Bravo !-----This is the most beautiful rendition of Maria ElenaI have ever heard
I have not had the pleasure of listening to this lovely music in decades! Although several years have passed, thank you for this posting. Beautiful rendition.
+CrampedGrampy Thanks, Grampy. I have always loved this one too.
CrampedGrampy play Maria Elena
Gee, 5 years later and I am yet enjoying this music by Rob just as much or more. Classics such as this never fall out of favor.
Maria Elena jouee de cette façon, on ne peut l'oublier.Je vous souhaite pour l'année 2024, tous mes vœux de Santé Bonheur et Réussite.Merci, gracias et thank you. Andree.
This is beautiful music video and I love playing it and playing it all this day enjoy Ed.
¡ Oh ! Marìa Elena, por siempre tuyo es mi corazòn. ¡Bravo! Maestro Rob.
ALWAYS A DELIGHT TO SEE AND HEAR SOMEONE TRYING TO SHARE THEIR TALENT WITH US, THE LISTENERS. AND, SINCE WE CAN PROBABLY NOT EVEN READ A NOTE, LET ALONE, PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, IT IS REALLY ENLIGHTENING TO SEE ANOTHER PERSON PERFORM. KEEP UP ALL THE GOOD WORK, ALL OF YOU PEOPLE WHO MAKE MUSIC FOR US. WELL DONE!
Think of how much good this kind of music and this one recording did and does in the world. How many hundreds of thousands of people over the years, have had their lives made somehow better or more bearable by this one original recording. So many have a great wonderful memories connected with Los Indios work and the great RCA engineers who knew exactly how to record them in early stereo.....
Belíssima interpretação Rob Bourassa! Os "Los Índios Tabajaras" encantaram o mundo com suas magistrais performances! Desde Brasil 🇧🇷, um abraço.
The most beautiful version I've ever heard. Great admiration and respect. Thank You
Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.
Absolutely stunning for all of the right reasons.!! Beautifully presented too. Thank you.
Thank you, David, for the kind words.
FASCINACION TOTAL PARA MI ALMA!!!! GRACIAS
Sou um dos amantes de músicas boas esta é linda
The best of oll times....!
yeonjun dancing to mexican music, my dream come true
Such a beautiful instrumental done to perfection. Thank you Mr. Bourassa for sharing it with the world.
przepiękne wykonanie tego utworu, najlepsze jakiego słuchałam. Pozdrowienia i wszystkiego dobrego.
I remember hearing this on the radio when I was a child, and I've never forgotten it. Watching my parents dancing in the kitchen or living room. Beautiful song.
That is also one of my favorite memories. We'd pull the furniture back and my mom and dad would dance in our living room too. They met as dance instructors at Arthur Murray School of Dance. I don't think many folks know how to dance well anymore.
@Rob Bourassa Ah, man !! Today's young'uns would NEVER know the meaning of a slow, romantic dance, with candle lights, or watching your parents dancing, or "dipping" one another, romantically. Yep, my friend, sadly, except in our memories, those days are gone. "Arthur Murray", huh? The one thing that tells me, is, your parents must have been terrific dancers. I used to beg my brothers to take me, but they would yell & say "Heck NO, You're our sister, NO WAY, the girls that go there & work there are KNOCK-OUTS & you're just our sister". So, I never got to go, but I ALWAYS wondered what it was like or what it looked like. Would you mind telling me what it was like for them to work there? If if you don't mind, please?
They always talked fondly of it. My dad did it part time while he was in the Air Force in Texas. They were both excellent dancers in many styles. When they got married and moved back to Michigan, they quit teaching dance but still lit up the floor wherever they went. I remember having a very good high school stage band that did standards from the 40s and during our concerts, our director invited the parents to dance. It only took a few seconds for the floor to clear and everyone around them stood in awe. They were really something. They always stayed in shape and my mom was always a pretty slender girl, so they made a very striking couple. It was always a big part of their lives.
Rob, don't tell me your dad was stationed at Lackland Air Force Base (LAFB) in San Antonio, Texas. That's where I live. Man, I bet they were some REAL "floor sweepers", an old Texas term describing people that dance & they're SO good, they sweep EVERYONE else off the dance floor. But how wonderful for y'all !! If I remember correctly, the Arthur Murray dance studio was downtown on St. Mary's Street or on Broadway. Obviously, my brothers never took me, but sometimes the T.V. stations, (we had three, don't laugh) would pick some of the dance instructors & do a piece on them. Say, I wonder if your parents may have been any of the instructors a story was done on? This is REALLY some great memories you shared with us. Really wonderful to read & imagine them dancing, teaching some oaf & NOT getting your mom's feet crushed. Many Thanks !!
This is one of my all time favourite songs, love it played by guitar.
Such beautiful and breathe taking music. I can hear this all day long. Bravo!
my mama named me after this song🌷😍..luv u ma💓
Ótima execução! Duas jóias que saíram da floresta do Ceará.
How can anyone hit a dislike? It is so beautiful. I think it’s one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
You play it so beautiful. It just touches my very soul.
@@marykuga4589 Thanks so much, Mary. It has always been one of my favorites.
I love this music! So soul-searching and reflective!
What beautifully plaid ! You bring me up in the sky . 😍😍
Encore un très bon musicien qui fait chanter sa guitare, c'est un vrai plaisir pour les tympans, merci pour le partage
Wonderful rendition by one of the best players today…Love it and celebrate a great talent…B.
Thanks for the kind words, William. I appreciate it.
Lovely! This guy can play anything , i am quite sure. GREAT!
I love this melodi 💕💕
Maria Helena, uma das músicas mais bela e que me emociona.Lembra-me, juventude e minha mãe. Confesso que a guitarra , deixou-a mais bonita e me emocionou muito mais. Parabéns pela interpretação.
Le imprime un hermoso “relieve” a la melodía. Enhorabuena.
I could write a paragraph on how much this song means to me, but instead I’ll just say, a man i caretaked for listened to this all the time as we would smoke (hehe) and it was genuinely one of the most peaceful times of my life. Oh how I miss him ❣️🕊
Memories, one sadness we like to feel over and over again. Just heard this piece again a few days after over 30 years of not hearing it and it took me back to those days...
What a beautiful song. I had never heard it before until today, when my mom recommended it to me. I love it. Thank you so much.
