Today is the day of the Chinita, November 18, the day of the pipers, the holiday of Zulia: the maracaibera Virgin, Our Lady of Chiquinquirá, is being celebrated with great joy and hubbub.
Just a day like today, it noted two important facts for Venezuelan music: the first is that the composer Jose Enrique "Chelique" Sarabia, is awarded the Grammy Trustees Award of the Academy, an honor awarded for their contributions music, beyond his merits as an interpreter.
The other remarkable thing is that Chelique composer Sarabia is one of the most emblematic pieces of Zulia, "Chinita of Maracaibo" (Chinita of Maracaibo, sweety divine virgin, virgin of Chiquinquirá enlightening us the way); and that surely is being sung at this time in several corners of the beautiful maracaibera city.
And that usually reminds Chelique for "Anxiety" theme that have covered many artists in the world. However, this margariteño author is also the composer of songs like "When you do not know about you," "Sailor", "Do not bite the lips", "canoeist", "Help me", "I Need You", "Lost in the distance "," My Own Me ", and" in this country ".
Likewise, Sarabia is credited his good sense as a producer, having discovered talents like Jose Luis Rodriguez, the Puma; and Rosa Virginia and Maria Teresa Chacin, perhaps his most faithful interpreters.
This honor falls Sarabia him like a glove, as the composer celebrated this year, also, its 75 of life. Congratulations!
