Genre Lullaby | Language Spanish | |
"Que Linda Manita" is a Spanish lullaby.
It was featured in the fifth segment ("Loin 16e") of the 2006 film Paris, je t'aime, in which a young woman (Catalina Sandino Moreno) sings the song to both her baby and later to her employer's baby. The song is popular with Hispanic children. While singing the song a hand motion is done, where the listener and the singer twist their hand back and forth, to encourage memory.
The song has been part of our contemporary culture for many years before it was displayed in the aforementioned movie. Every country has a variation of the song.
