Cuban Pete from Being the ricardos

cuban pete song in being the ricardos [2021 film]

I'd be on board if Javier Bardem recorded an album of Latin standards. The emphasis he puts on "spice" here 0:30 is exquisite.

[JSB]

He doesn't have that rich voice of Desi Arnaz when singing - but he still pulled it off.

I just want to say that honestly I was impressed by Javier Bardem's take on it. I had no idea and it was a happy surprise! I can tell hard work went into it... singing is hard for many reasons, especially if you're a bit shy on it. This makes me want to play different genres on my flute and is inspiring in many ways. Makes me feel like I can do it... for awhile I felt lacking inspiration in ways... there's still joy in this world despite everything right now. I hope he continues doing music and considers doing some music oriented projects, whatever that may be.

The editing doesn't help. I thought Javier Bardem was terrific in this movie...but, oh man, Desi Arnaz had an unbeatable charm and charisma.

I was so thrilled when this song started playing! I’d been praying that they’d include it!

So this is where Anton Chigurh went after that car collision LOL.

Put it on 1.25 speed. The Mask will be proud. (Also Jim)

I love how Javier Bardem did his own singing in this film, he sings very well ❤🎶 This song reminds me of Carmen Miranda's Chica Chica Boom Chic 🇧🇷

Still waiting for Babalu to be posted somewhere on YouTube.

[stalliontrainer]

It's good acting.
You can't compare to Desi and Lucy because they were original and one of a kind STARS!

I like cuban pete song makes me smile from ear to ear

[alextepe]

Yes, most would agree that Javier did the Cuban Pete number justice, but there’s only one original. And Desi will always be the gold standard by which people will compare performances.

[grettelvargas]

Javier Bardem es un actorazo. Le falta ese toque latino a pesar de ser español pero para mí es un gran actor.

[CheekyKleurling]

I had a thought; what if Javier Bardem sang Mambo Italiano 🇮🇹🎶 I think his voice would be perfect for that song 👍😁

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

That weird thing where Desi Arnez is doing his song and yet most people think of it as Jim Carrey’s song!

[sspdirect]

Javier give us the essence of Desi Arnez without being an exact copy.

[MINA-unoq]

Bardem is one of the best actors in the world right now. In Loving Pablo he was divine and Penelope too.

[kylesagendorf]

Jim carrey can transform anywhere i swear

[amandaalexander]

Not bad but I miss the way desi rolls his r

[blackforest]

Sorkin is so bad at directing he doesn't even think to include Bardem's dancing feet in the shot. Like, that's how bad he is at directing.
