While killing some time at a thrift store during my daughter, Wendy Saugus', piano lesson, I came across this record. A scan of the song titles ensured to the world that I would invest the 50 cents needed to acquire this one. I'm a big fan of current rock hits sung in different languages by local cover bands.
All the way home I kept repeating a mantra.
Please let these be sung in Spanish, Please let these be sung in Spanish
I rushed into the house and bypassed my usual thrift store decontamination ritual of dusting, slathering with record cleaning solution and vacuuming. Couldn't wait to give this one a spin.
I was not disappointed. It's all in Spanish. The band is passable. Favorite tracks here are Up Around the Bend (El Cafe Del Amor - 'The Cafe of Love?"), Whole Lotta Love (Demasiado Amor - "Too Much Love?"), Venus and Victoria. The last two don't require a translation as they're proper nouns in the original song, but the words are in Spanish on the recording.
i mantener en rockin !
