A big hug to all the members of this beautiful community. God grant that we may continue to share our best content for all of us. This week 90 the theme will be "Intransigent Evolution". Interesting topic, with a lot of material to talk about. Pay some attention to the meaning of those 2 words, so I can explain why I have chosen this song.
intransigence:
According to what I have read, it refers to a condition of someone who does not accept, or refuses to accept, that another person is right, thus, is unwilling to modify his or her arguments to reach an agreement or to end an argument. The intransigent, therefore, does not accept that another individual may be right or acknowledge that the other's arguments may be valid.
Evolution:
It is the process in which organisms change over time and adapt to new ways of life, according to customs, culture, gastronomy, etc....
El Gran Varon:
The song tells the story of Simón, a transsexual who abandoned his father's macho aspirations - when you grow up you're going to study the same pod as your dad, he says in his first verse - to live his sexual identity in freedom. However, Simon dies of a strange disease, responding to the ignorance that surrounded HIV at the time.
Artista: Willie Colón
Álbum: Altos Secretos (Top Secrets)
Fecha de lanzamiento: 1989
In the eighties, Omar Alfanno made a space for himself in Latin music as a composer for ballads and "salsa romantica", a variant of the genre that dominated the decade, leaving behind the "salsa dura" phase -closer to jazz experimentation- that the singers of the Fania label spread in the seventies. In fact, Omar Alfanno sang his own songs with a salsa orchestra called "Los Sembradores del Sur" in Mexico. A period in his life that allowed him to meet the consecrated Willie Colón, whom he opened for in a concert in Mexico City. It was at that moment that Alfanno wanted to surprise the trombonist with the song inspired by his friend.
