The Shadows – Apache (1964) Overview "Apache" is a classic instrumental track by the British group The Shadows. Although famously associated with their 1960 release, the song continued to be performed and broadcast through the 1960s, including notable television performances in 1964. The distinctive sound of "Apache" with its echo and vibrato guitar, created by Hank Marvin, is credited as one of the most influential rock instrumentals of the pre-Beatles era.

1964-1975 - greatest decade plus of music

That tune is familiar to anyone who watches westerns.

Too similar..

Actually…take a listen to the latest release (all instrumental) from Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives.

Absolute class!! I love these guys, their music is awesome and the synchronised moves makes for a great visual performance too. Fantastic!! 👍👍👍👍

I still have their learning guitar music magazine 1966 edition with all their famous music hits. FBI, Wonderful land, Geronimo & Apache of course.

I loved THE VENTURES version of APACHE.

@MICHELPOLNAREFF 💞génial, de la vraie musique avant❤️❤️❤️‍🔥🔥

@FouadKh43051267 Hmmmm now I know where Tarantino gets inspired from😏

Probably just as well. Can anybody tell the difference between any of the Shadows hits?

I remember this song just before Vietnam went "loud"...:-(

I don't remember playing it. It's a great record though.

J'aimais beaucoup et j'essayais d'imiter Yma Sumac sur leur musique... J'avais imaginé également une chorégraphie...🎶

No câbles, no amplifiers ...?

That's racist!!!! and cultural approbation!!!! (That's what would happen if anyone tried to make music like that today.)

We have lost the beauty of music nowadays.
