Esta agrupación española llegó a nuestro país y se coló en los hogares cubanos gracias a un programa radial nombrado “Nocturno”, de la emisora nacional Radio Progreso. Al parecer narra la historia de un joven al cual se le ha ido su amada y al tiempo se encuentran, interesándose él por saber “cómo le ha ido, si ha conocido la felicidad”. Parte de los encuentros que con el paso del tiempo tienen, los que alguna vez se prometieron amor eterno y no lo cumplieron, por cosas de la vida, del destino.

Lo cierto es que casi todos nos sabemos la canción y hasta la tarareamos. Yo la canto, y ya no solo en la ducha, sino hasta en Hive. Una vez tuve un padrastro al que le encantaba este tipo de música, pues pertenecía a su generación, por lo que siempre tuvo afición por los equipos de música donde rodaba su casete de la época. Este amigo hace mucho que lastimosamente no está entre nosotros, así que espero desde donde esté pueda escucharme y que sirva de homenaje esta canción para "El Pilla", como le decían sus amigos.

Since I was very young, music has been present in my life, in some way or another, although it never crossed my mind to study to become a musician. My thing was painting, but that's another story, what I can assure you is that there was always a melody at home livening up the day. Whether it was my father with his radio, or a neighbor with the popular music of the moment. I think I have consumed so much music, so many genres, that I could make a whole musical ajiaco.

If you ask me what kind of music I like, you would be asking for trouble, because the truth is that my musical taste is as wide as this wonderful world. I can listen to an instrumental, reggaeton, pop, rock and a little bit more, the truth is I wouldn't know how to choose my favorite. However, I have a strong preference for the classics, you know, those songs that stay engraved in your mind treasuring some special moment or other.

This song that I chose for my second visit to the community, could be one of them, a super fun song of the group, the Fórmula V. Don't ask me why I brought it to Hive, it just came to my mind spontaneously, it ended up becoming a moment that I enjoyed a lot while I was recording myself with my cell phone. "Cuéntame" is a song that belongs to the so-called "prodigious era", the 70's and 80's, where many groups and singers were born, who immortalized songs attracting a whole generation that still continues to listen to these hits.

This Spanish group arrived in our country and entered Cuban homes thanks to a radio program called "Nocturno", of the national radio station Radio Progreso. Apparently, it tells the story of a young man whose beloved has left him and after a while they meet, and he is interested in knowing "how she has been doing, if she has known happiness". Part of the encounters that, with the passing of time, those who once promised each other eternal love and did not fulfill it, due to the things of life, of destiny.

The truth is that almost all of us know the song and even hum it. I sing it, and not only in the shower, but even in Hive. I once had a stepfather who loved this kind of music, as he belonged to his generation, so he was always fond of the stereos where he played his cassette of the time. Unfortunately, this friend is no longer with us, so I hope he can listen to me from wherever he is and that this song will serve as a tribute to "El Pilla", as his friends used to call him.
