Si hay una canción de Rocío que sea atemporal, es precisamente "Una gata bajo la lluvia." Recuerdo haber memorizado la letra de esta canción y cantarla en voz alta cuando tenía apenas 8 años sin entender lo que estaba cantando: "Si alguna vez nos vemos por ahí, invítame a un café y hazme el amor." Con los años, llegué a comprender lo que decía la letra. jajajaja

La otra pieza musical es otro clásico. De hecho, me sorprendió que en la universidad, llena de profesores e intelectuales, escucharan esta canción. Más tarde supe que no era tanto por Rocío Dúrcal sino por Joaquín Sabina, otro español que es casi un poeta trovador. "Y nos dieron las diez" es una historia de esos amores que comienzan en un bar y se convierten en eternidad.

La tercera canción es "Costumbres." Curiosamente o no, esta era una de las favoritas de mi mamá, quien vivió más de 50 años con mi padre. La canción habla de cómo a veces estamos con alguien no tanto por amor, sino por costumbre.

Desafortunadamente, esta generación sabe poco sobre la música de esta gran cantante española y su legado. Para aquellos de nosotros que escuchamos esta música, sabemos que la voz de Rocío Dúrcal despierta sentimientos encontrados, como los que siento en este momento: alegría, felicidad, nostalgia e incluso el deseo de tomar una cerveza.

Esta es mi participación de esta semana en la iniciativa de nuestro gran amigo @ablaze: Three Tune Tuesday. Si quieres participar, aquí te dejo el enlace

HASTA UNA PRÓXIMA OPORTUNIDAD, AMIGOS

Hello, friends of the world. Hello, friends of Hive. Today is Tuesday, and as everyone knows, today is the perfect day to listen to and share good music.
Over the past few months, I have shared the music of my favorite female singers, and today is no exception. I bring you one of the most well-known Spanish singers in America, so much so that many believed she was Mexican because she dedicated herself to singing rancheras. That singer has passed away, but her music has made her eternal. We are talking about Rocío Dúrcal.
I have always spoken about how my grandmother and father influenced my reading and story creation, but I have rarely talked about the influence my mother has had on me regarding music. At home, music was listened to because of her, as she would do the housework with music, and one of the singers she listened to the most was Rocío Dúrcal. This is a tribute to Rocío, but also to Eloína, my mother.
If there is a song by Rocío that is timeless, it is precisely "Una gata bajo la lluvia." I remember memorizing the lyrics of this song and singing them out loud at just 8 years old without understanding what I was singing: "if we ever see each other out there, invite me for a coffee and make love to me." Over the years, I did come to understand what the lyrics were saying.jajajaja
The other musical piece is another classic. In fact, I was surprised that at university, full of professors and intellectuals, they listened to this song. Later I learned that it was not so much for Rocío Dúrcal but for Joaquín Sabina, another Spaniard who is almost a troubadour poet. "And it struck ten" is a story of those loves that start at a bar and turn into eternity.
The third song is "Habit." Strangely enough or not, this was one of my mom's favorites, who lived more than 50 years with my father. The song talks about how sometimes we are with someone not so much out of love, but out of habit.
Unfortunately, this generation knows little about the music of this great Spanish singer and her legacy. For those of us who listen to this music, we know that Rocío Dúrcal's voice awakens mixed feelings, like the ones I feel at this moment: joy, happiness, nostalgia, and even the desire to have a beer.
