Los Lonely Boys is one those groups of musicians who make up
the rules as they go along. They meld the rhythms of salsa with pop music, and
even some country, to bridge cultures and create their own unique sound. This
live performance captures the group’s style perfectly; they take their music
seriously; but never lose sight of the real goal, which is to make good music
while enjoying them-selves.
I wanted to post the Spanish language version of this song,
but it is not available on You Tube. On their first album they did a double
sided disc, with DVD performances on the reverse side. Every song sung in
English was so much better when captured in Spanish. Even without knowing all
of the words, the melody is carefully nuanced, and the message of the song is
never lost.
I’m taking a day off today; well actually not if I’m posting
this. I just mean that today is a day to enjoy the early spring weather with a
good book outside. The music is an added bonus. Have a great Thursday if you
are reading this, and I will see you here tomorrow.
