La historia detrás de "Cariñito".

Imagen
Una noche de 1979 Rodolfo Aicardi llegó feliz a los estudios de grabación de Discos Fuentes y le dijo a Pedro Muriel: “Tengo el éxito para este año. Lo escuché en Ecuador y vamos a grabarlo”. En un casete estaba la interpretación de una orquesta peruana, “Los hijos del sol”. Escucharon las dos estrofas que tiene la canción: “Lloro por quererte / Por amarte y por desearte/ Lloro por quererte/ Por amarte y por desearte /Ay cariño ay mi vida. Nunca pero nunca/ Me abandones cariñito/ Nunca pero nunca/ Me abandones cariñito”. Eso era todo. Nada más decía la letra, pero tenía sentimiento. De inmediato Pedro Muriel –el grabador de más de 300 grandes éxitos de Discos Fuentes—llamó al equipo de Los Hispanos. El maestro Luis Carlos Montoya, experimentado arreglista para los temas tropicales se encargó de los arreglos. Ya había dado resultado con “Boquita de Caramelo” que había servido de resurgimiento para Rodolfo y ahora tendrían otro gran éxito. Lo presagiaban. Luis Carlos Monto...

Lila Downs Sings About Detained Children in New Manu Chao Cover

Border Review by World Village

Imagen
Lila Downs - Border / Narada World It's only a year since Downs issued her last, remarkable album. But she obviously has a lot to say, and her third release focuses on the Mexican border and the migrant workers. Musically it's her most adventurous outing to date, experimenting with form and feel. And like all experiments, not everything works. In fact, where she harks back to the jazziness of her debut she seems weakest. It's when she's taking chances, as on the hip-hop inflected "Sale Sobrando," that things really take off, while the acerbic "Smoke" and an odd, bust mostly compelling medley of "Pastures Of Plenty/This Land Is Your Land/Land" not only fits in thematically, but pushes a couple of sonic envelopes too. Downs's voice continues to grow, both physically and as an artist. And the fact that she's willing to risk so much so often is all to her lasting credit. FUENTE
