Help finding a song?

September 24, 2010 2:02 AM

Please help me find a song that still haunts me 20 years later. It was, I think, an Alejandro Jodorowsky film, somewhere in the middle of the film, two men are embracing, soaked to the bone and crying intensely, while a beautiful, lamentful duet is performed (in Spanish of course) by males and a guitar. It almost has the same effect as Rebeka Del Rios scene at Club Silencia in "Mulholland Drive", performing "Llorando", although much more intense. The scene and music are so perfect for one another, but I can't remember it for the life of me. Help Mefites!

The films of Alejandro Jodorowsky box set has two soundtrack cds - one for El Topo, one for The Holy Mountain.

I don't think it is from the Holy Mountain, possibly El Topo or maybe Santa Sangre.

I think a good approach would be to narrow down which film it is from first. Here are some trailers/parts to start with if they seem familiar:

(just FYI for those unfamilar with his works, some of these are fairly graphic in nature so may be nsfw)
Holy Mountain
El Topo
Santa Sangre
Rainbow Theif
Tusk
La Cravate
Fando y Lis
