Spanish Legion military music

Hi, after sometime I have decided to participate in this forum trying to have some fun and learning new things.

First of all I have to apologize for my English, it´s so limited so sometimes perhaps I don´t get the inner meanings of the posts or cannot explain myself in a correct way to make my posting some kind of comprehensive post.

I am specialized in Spanish Legion, so I think I will post about it´s military music in this field (marches) , although if administrator thinks it would be located in any other place I will understand perfectly because I don´t manage this ok yet.

I am introducing some trumpets I like, first of all is from an old movie, very short and as you can see it´s in Sahara times. The legionary uses a “siroquera” for covering from dust and sun. Rest are inner shows for legionaries and families or for public before any parade.

Hi Rattler, I will try to complain you, there was a page with all the spanish horn signal and meaning but doesn´t work. Spanish Legion is based in Infantry, so signals are the same.

Here is a link http://www.unamu.org/ whre inside military music (música militar) you can find some of the most famous Spanish military songs, including Legion´s. Anyway I will put the Legion songs I find with it´s videos.

I don´t surrender, I will try to find those horny )LOL) signals.

El Novio de la muerte (Grooms of Death). Really a love story, a man who lost his beloved woman and decided not having other love than his flag and joined the Legion to find death and meet her as soon as possible. A legend for us

La Legion (Spain)- Novio de la Muerte - Subtitulada	DQ

La cancion del legionario (Legionary song). Our hymn. This is recorded in IV Bandera del 2º Tercio Duque de Alba, one of the Banderas I was, although in my period we were more than 100% more men. This Bandera is placed in what´s called "A Position" García Aldave in Ceuta and this was the first official quarter Legion had in history. Actually almost empty just used for special acts and occupied by standard army section of Legion services. (what a pity and terrible pain in my heart)

Before song is prayed one of our "spirits" from our creed (12).  "La bandera de la legión" (Legion´s flag). It´s a curiosity the creed has changed in these years with different points of view among legionaries.

In my time we said "La bandera de la legion es la mas gloriosa porque esta teñida con la sangre de sus legionarios" (Legion´s flag is the most glorious because it´s tinted with its legionaries blood).

Actually it´s said "La bandera de la legion será la mas gloriosa porque la teñiran la sangre de sus legionarios" (Legion flag will be the most glorious becaus it will be tinted with its legionaries blood)

Some legionaries think the use of future in creed is a lost of respect to the more than 10.000 legionaries dead in past times. Some think it must not be so, but that new use of the future means we will still dying for our flag forever.

Just a comment for giving some more than music to post.
