The return of Los Panchos

I stumbled upon return information Los Panchos, twenty years later: Gabriel Vargas Aguilar Vargas and Rafael Basurto -Gabi, two of the last members, meet again in Spain and give a concert on December 9 in Madrid, for two reasons : love the bolero and the need to make young people fall in love with this romantic music.

I take this opportunity to discuss how the music of the famous trio, formed in the forties, fed the Latin American romantic vein. Although the bolero was his main genre, the group also cultivated other rhythms like tango, country, the Peruvian waltz, the hall, son, rumba, mambo, guaracha, cha cha, merengue, the key, the guarania, the gallops, blues, and even the Venezuelan cave passage.

And it is to fall in love with the songs of this group was a fundamental part of the culture of romance, a custom that lasted until well into the eighties; perhaps replaced by the voices of young performers of the song in Spanish, like Luis Miguel, Jon Secada, Gloria Estefan, romantic bachata Juan Luis Guerra, Ricardo Montaner, Guillermo Davila, and many more.

Even in the Hispanic audience seventies, Los Panchos -sanamente- competed with performers from the likes of Julio Iglesias, El Puma (Jose Luis Rodriguez), José Luis Perales, Sandro, and others.

It would be beautiful and interesting to see how the youth of the third millennium melt of love are the "watch, do not tick the hours," pining for "Flor de Azalea" or trying to solfear with "do-want you to go, if-you remember me, la-pity comes over you, sun-is to become ", and so on.
