"Poinciana" is a song by Nat Simon with lyrics by Buddy Bernier written in 1936. The tune is based on a Cuban folk tune "La canción del árbol" ("The song of the tree"). The poinciana tree itself, Delonix regia, is a tree introduced to Cuba from Madagascar.[1] The song subsequently became a standard covered by artists including Ahmad Jamal, Frank Sinatra, George Shearing, Dave Brubeck & Paul Desmond, Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, Vic Damone, Keith Jarrett, Percy Faith, Diane Schuur, Caterina Valente, Robert Goulet, The Four Freshmen, MFSB, The Manhattan Transfer, Steve Lawrence (this was a minor hit in 1952), Lew Tabackin, Gerry Mulligan with Chet Baker, Cal Tjader, Jerome Richardson, Shelly Manne, Billy Taylor, Booker Ervin, Gary Burton, Lou Donaldson, and Vulfpeck. In 1978, disco duo Paradise Express recorded a version which made the top 20 on the disco charts.[5] The song was widely popularised in the 1952 film Dreamboat when it was played in the night club. The song was featured again in the 1995 film The Bridges of Madison County when it was performed by Ahmad Jamal.
