The Caracas of Ilan Chester

Ilan Chester is "Canto al Avila," a song that became the anthem of Caracas in the 80s. It was natural, for those years, to go quietly from Petare to La Pastora, and contemplate the sultan in love (as he called Poet JA Pérez Bonalde to the hill before which the city was an "odalisque surrendered to the feet of the in love sultán").

"Canto al Ávila" was positioned among the first songs of the radio billboard. But the most interesting thing is that Ilan dedicated his album "Canciones de todos las días" to the urban, and, therefore, to the experiences of Caracas.

That if "Tide of the sea" or "You are one in a million", "For someone like you", "Soledad", "Only you fail" became the city chronicle, and little by little were the soundtrack of the eighties .

For Caracas, Ilan is one of its iconic singers, as well as another, as we will see in this series dedicated to the city in the 450 years of its founding.
