This pair of brothers, members of the Tabajara tribe of northern Brazil, were one of the most unlikely successes of the space age pop era. Nearly 20 years after they first began recording professionally and in the midst of the twist craze, they had a Top 10 pop hit with their cover of "Maria Elena," a Mexican folk tune first popularized in the U.S. by Jimmy Dorsey.
RCA and their promoters have always drawn a veil of mystery around Los Indios Tabajaras, so it's tough to trace their early years accurately.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Ello fellow musos, not sure if this is 100% correct but if it isn't, it's pretty damn Enjoy.
To make things easier, I've divided this song into Verse 1, Verse 2, Bridge, Verse 3 and There aren't any lyrics to show you what chords go where so you'll just have to listen the song to see where to put them.

[Verse 1]
B - F# - B - G#7 C#m - F# - F#7- B F#- B - F#
[Verse 2]

And that's it. I'm pretty sure it's in 2/4 so I'll put some kind of rough rhythm in later.
You really have to listen for the rhythm because some chords are held for ages and some quickly.
